317 Brookby Road, Hawkesbury

Set in a private basin in the Omaka valley, renowned for producing some of Marlborough's best quality grapes, particularly Pinot Noir, this attractive hillside vineyard offers the opportunity for a first dip into the industry or an addition to current holdings. A range of equipment is included. A pressure compensating irrigation system and a comprehensive fertiliser program has ensured the 7 canopy hectare vineyard is well established with even growth throughout and little evidence of any areas being more stressed than others. It comes with a greater than required allocation of paid-up shares in the Southern Valley Irrigation Scheme and there is a reservoir holding approximately four million litres. As well as providing irrigation back-up, the small lake is home to several species of duck and other native birds. Partly bordered by fruit trees, it offers an appealing outlook for the amenity complex with a deck over the water. The well-established infrastructure includes a network of all-weather tracks. An attractive lookout point at the top of the block would make a great house site, with views over the vineyard to the Richmond Ranges in one direction and back over Brancott to Wellington in the other. $1,290,000 plus GST (if any)
