This property has been developed over the last few years as a private game estate and now boasts a rustic 9 hole golf course as well.
There are over 100 acres of commercial forest and 100 acres of native bush in which red and fallow deer roam coming out to feed on the lush grass of the golf course in the morning and evening.
Awaawatia (Valley of the deer) has been established with the emphasis on the development of elite fallow and red deer herds utilising fallow deer of Swedish and Hungarian bloodlines and the master red stag is of Warnham Park bloodlines.
Eleven ponds have been created on the property as landscaping and creation of waterfowl habitat.
The extensive planting of pines, cypress and hardwoods over the past fifteen years will remain with the vendor under a forestry right with a negotiable royalty paid to the new owner upon harvest.
There is an extensive network of paths and tracks throughout the forest and bush (over 6 miles) allowing ideal access for those who simply want to enjoy the wildlife and atmosphere of the area.
