Wendonside Farm is a premier property located in one of Southland's most sought-after farming districts, widely regarded as one of the best farms in the area.

Two dwellings, including a well-presented main home, further enhance the property's appeal. With three separate titles provides valuable flexibility, offering multiple purchasing options and broadening the potential buyer pool. A genuine top-tier Wendonside opportunity with scale, versatility and proven performance.
