3 1. Introduction DESCRIPTION Approximately two hours drive from Christchurch is this 9,295 hectares of iconic South Island High Country in the Lewis Pass, bounded by the Waiau, Boyle and Hope Rivers. This magnificent expansive parcel of pastoral lease is not only predominantly a recreational dream with hunting, tramping, biking, fishing and horse trekking, but also a property of farming potential and development, particularly with cattle and deer breeding. It has a four-bedroom home, woolshed and covered yards and a 300 hectare well-developed deer unit. Scenically, it cannot be challenged - mainly due to its fabulous "jewel in the crown", the Magdalen Valley, comprising amazing flats and rising to commanding peaks bounding the Poplars and St James Stations. 30 hectares Freehold, 9,264 hectares Pastoral Lease. SITUATION The property is accessed off the Lewis Pass Highway, and is approximately 50km from Hanmer Springs and 165km from Christchurch. Google Earth: s, e
