EQUESTRIAN PERFECT

After 30 years in the horse business, it's now time for the vendors to hand over the reins. This 2.2 ha lifestyle property offers the perfect base for equestrian enthusiasts just 10 km from Waipu township. Located on the school bus and rubbish collection route, this is where convenience meets countryside. Enjoy easy access to stunning Uretiti Beach - ideal for horse-riding along the shoreline.
