Small farmlets of up to two acres have become extremely popular for Kiwis wanting to keep the city (and their neighbours) at arm’s length but close enough to enjoy the benefits they offer.
Most of these farmlets are only half an hour from a major city or five minutes from a country town. Big enough to make them a working farm or small enough to put down a tennis court and/or swimming pool, lifestyle blocks are just that – a happy medium between a city and rural life. Depending on size and location, you could expect to pay around NZ$600,000.
