Annavale Station is located in the Waimakariri Valley near Springfield, just over the hill from Coleridge Downs. The Erdman family became sole owners of Annavale following a period of co-ownership with the original proprietors.
It is a steep hill country breeding property with limited flats and aims to supply quality store stock back to be finished under irrigation at Big Ben. The station employs two full-time staff and draws on the Coleridge Downs team for support during busy periods.
