 Peaceful country living in a corner of paradise
In the heart of Northern Southland, Mossburn is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and clean fresh flowing rivers.
Situated on the main tourist route between Queenstown and Fiordland, it has New Zealand’s top tourist destination within easy reach - the Fiordland National Park World Heritage Area - which includes the stunning Doubtful and Milford Sounds, Lake Te Anau and Manapouri, as well as hidden treasures such as Lake Mavora and Monowai.
An area of stunning scenery, it is also a paradise for the active outdoors lover. Four of New Zealand’s Great Walks (Keppler, Milford, Routeburn & Hollyford) are within its boundaries, while hunters and fly-fishermen from around the world chase impressive trophies.

The property is divided into 19 fields with a variety of farm buildings (garage, sheds, haybarn, deer yards).

“Beautiful grassy sites with wonderful hosts to boot. Great to wander around the farm animals and just relax. The most pleasant motor home park we have been to in NZ. Recommend to all”. T & D Williamsdale – Australia
Cabins
The 7 cabins (see extra photos) are standard (sleeping 2-9), and are equipped with bunk beds, table and chairs, heater, hot water jug and toaster. Guests are generally expected to provide their own bedding although linen can be hired. These are particularly popular with fishermen and rural contractors working in the area.

- Kitchen: bench-top elements, microwave oven, fridge/freezer, toasters, kettles, sandwich maker, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils, tables and chairs, TV.

Part time hours required:
The Holiday Park is operated by the owners without assistance. The Park currently requires 0-3 hours per day, depending on the time of year (largely seasonal). The camp does not require continuous monitoring and can be operated to suit the owner. Campers often settle themselves in and payment is arranged when the owner returns.
Quality of Life:
Guests come from all parts of the world sharing a wonderful pot pourri of experiences. The majority only stay 1 night (or are out touring/fishing during the day) so for much of the day the lifestyle and surrounding beauty is there to be enjoyed privately.

Availability:
This property is available for immediate purchase / possession.
Potential for development:
- Existing camp facilities are underutilised. New approaches such as an animal theme park, school stays or theme weekends (eg duck shooting / fishing) could boost numbers without further capital investment.
- Hobby farming such as a small stud venture (eg alpaca, pigs, goats) or leasing out land to neighbouring farmers.
- Subdivision is possible without affecting the core lifestyle value or business returns. Few lifestyle blocks are available in the area which increases the feasibility of recovering some of the initial capital outlay in this way.
- AND.....
EXCITING NEW DEVELOPMENT: The proposed "Around the mountain cycle trail" is expected to receive government ratification in mid Nov '09 and be operative in Nov'10. Mossburn is the officially planned stopping point for day 2 of the 4 day cycle trail and this property is within 2km of the cycle trail. Being the largest accomodation provider in the Mossburn area, it is well set to take advantage of this significant increase in demand for accomodation - particulary for backpackers and group bookings.
