farmA six generation old working farm.Stonehurst Farm lies on the edge of the Waimea plains against the southern Richmond hills. This expansive 1000 acres of lush green paddocks and rolling hills encompasses towering native trees and where native birds nestle, 5kms of beautiful winding river boundary and wetlands, and skyline views across the Waimea Plains out to Tasman Bay. |
The Max family has owned Stonehurst Farm for six generations and not surprisingly has developed a deep affinity for the land.
This commitment to retaining ownership of the farm lead Suzanne and Laurence Max to develop a diversified income base. Originally a traditional New Zealand sheep and beef farm, Stonehurst now incorporates horse trekking, a riding centre, an equestrian centre (tertiary studies offered in partnership with the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology), forestry, cashmere goats, cattle, sheep and hay making.
