Description: Waihemo Grange stands as a remarkable testament to Otago’s pastoral heritage, tracing its origins back to the early 1860s. Nestled inland of Palmerston on the Pigroot (State Highway 85) below the Kakanui Mountains, this substantial stone homestead has witnessed a succession of dedicated owners, each contributing to its development and character.
From its beginnings as Run 109, through periods of transformation and stewardship by notable figures such as Frederick Wayne, the Kitchener family, and the McKellars, the property’s history reflects both the aspirations and challenges of nineteenth-century rural life.
Today, Waihemo Grange endures as a significant 400sqm private residence on 164 hectares of land. Farm improvements include an equestrian arena, cattle yards and large utility shedding, modern stock water system and subdivision.
This unique historic homestead and farm is offered for sale by deadline private treaty. Early inspection is highly recommended.
