A sweeping driveway through established native bush creates an unforgettable arrival, opening to beautifully manicured grounds that frame the fully renovated character villa.

Sun-filled living spaces flow effortlessly to outdoor entertaining areas, creating the perfect environment to relax, host guests, and enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding landscape. A separate one-bedroom cabin adds further versatility, providing ideal accommodation for guests, extended family, or a peaceful work-from-home retreat. One of the estate’s distinctive features is the beautifully converted rustic woolshed. Rich in character and atmosphere, this unique space offers exciting possibilities for events, functions, creative ventures, or simply a remarkable gathering place. The land itself is equally impressive. Comprising 33.9 hectares (approx.) of highly fertile, well-managed country, the property has been thoughtfully subdivided and maintained to an exceptional standard, offering excellent grazing or cropping potential.

Adding further appeal, the estate is offered with flexible purchasing options. Held across three titles, buyers have the opportunity to secure either the main 22.04-hectare (approx.) block or the entire 33.9-hectare (approx.) holding. Properties of this calibre are rarely available. Combining elegance, versatility, and productive land, Rushbrooke Estate represents a truly special rural offering.

Just 20 minutes from Palmerston North and Feilding is an opportunity to secure a grazing property which is close enough to be run from town. This 20.56 hectares or 50.8 acres of grazing land is well subdivided with cattle-yards and head bale. Approximately 25% or 5 hectares is mowable making grass control a whole lot more manageable. The balance of the land is easy to medium hills with some steeper sidlings. The fertiliser history is consistent and while the property is utilised for fattening cattle it would suit other stock classes. The water is reticulated from a tank supplied by a dam to troughs in all paddocks plus there is natural water through the centre of the property as well. Whether you decide to build here or just run the property 'remotely' the choice is yours. If you're wanting to kick off your start into agriculture, then this a chance that should not be missed.
