Makarora Homestead Wilderness Accommodation
A friend sent me this link, I think it is her family member that owns the place. (Just want to say at the start that I have no involvement in this place and have never been there!)
It might be a bit on the expensive side for most, but it looks lovely, a unique business , and might be just perfected suited for someone who is wanting to get away from the rat race and take advantage of NZ's fantastic outdoors lifestyle and scenerey.
It is nestled under the mountains in the Makarora Valley right on the edge of Mt Aspiring National Park and near the beginning of the pass through the southern alps in the South Island (Te Waipounamu, meaning green shining waters) of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Here is some info from the owners:
At this point in time an agreeable price to us is $980.500.00 .
The property is 3.2 acres and is zoned township/residential so is available
to sub divide into quarter acre lots if desired or realistically three one
acre lots ....we of course could not do this to the land but to a potential
buyer we have to consider this as a realistic selling point whilst Wanaka
prices are becomming unrealistic, ie a three bedroomed quarter acre section
house being $450.000 and up.
It has one two storied 5 bedroomed house with three bathrooms
one single storied 2-3 bedroomed house (ours)
two detached ensuited twin /double rooms
one studio unit with ensuite and kitchenette
one large implement shed and workshop
A beautiful pond and creek running through the property
Fully deer fenced
Two Deer Nigel and Bernard
Five sheep Pincel , Swing, Doris, Duckface and Scrumpy
One Pony Dudley
Three chickens
and all given tender loving care and attention
We have biult the income up from nothing and it is getting better every year as tour companies and travellers find out about the nice people running it!!!
If anyone is interested in knowing more you can PM or contact them through their website.
