The improvements across Roughan Brae include a main 3 bedroom homestead, a 2-bedroom cottage, 3 stand woolshed and large covered sheep yards, deer shed and multiple support buildings. Contour across the farm is a mix of flat, medium to rolling with some steeper sidling's, together with approximately 75ha of native bush. Located 7.8km to Tuatapere, 48.5km to Riverton and 108km to Te Anau and overlooks Fiordland and the Humpridge track to the West, Te Wae Wae Bay, and the Southern coast to the South. There is access off both Happy Valley road and Jenkins Road along with a main central race through the farm. Our vendors are highly motivated with clear instructions that the property is to now be sold. Inspection is highly recommended.
