The farming portion of the property is in five paddocks suitable for grazing horses, cattle, sheep or potentially goats or alpaca. An extensive woodlot with gum and wattles provides endless firewood.

Farm implements include a tractor, rotary mower, an electric utility vehicle with tipping tray, electric backpack spray unit and sundry farm implements.
The spacious, architecturally designed house is nine years old and built from the best quality materials. Upstairs, the main bedroom looks out over the wetland and neighbouring dune-land. There is a walk-through dressing room and bathroom with walk-in shower. Chapel ceilings run from the bedroom through the dining room to the lounge, where a free standing fireplace provides ample heating throughout the top floor. Two guest rooms downstairs with en-suites and their own private courtyard can accommodate guests or family, and the office or fourth bedroom also has its own north facing courtyard. All windows are double glazed, giving views in every direction over pasture and wetland to the Tasman Sea.

The ambience is of nature, peace, privacy and seclusion.
