Tui Heights is superbly set up for sheep, cattle, horses, farm-stay and eco-tourism.
This beautifully presented property is the result of intensive improvements to the farm, the home and grounds, enhancement of the ecology and protection of the environment. It is a property poised for a new owner to benefit from superb stock raising or equine conditions, or to capitalise on its clear potential for the unique farm and bush based tourism experiences that are rapidly increasing in demand in New Zealand.

THE FARM
28.376 ha divided into 20 paddocks including a disused airstrip, a variety of contours with ample trees, natural and planted shelter. Efficient rotational grazing with hay making viable and an impressive fertiliser and weed control history.

All fencing, electric fences, gates and water troughs new or replaced in the last five years.

Independent underground natural spring water supply gravity fed to troughs, residence and out sheds (water which never sees daylight till it appears fresh from the tap.)

Very well maintained gravelled farm tracks for smooth access throughout the property.

Excellent stock husbandry and handling facilities:
• Timber woolshed, fully restored from original, with two shearing stands and additional underfloor night pens. Meat house attached.
• Sheep yards alongside the woolshed with drenching race.
• Cattle yards with weigh scales, raceway, loading ramp and holding paddock.
• 12x18m high stud implement shed erected in 2011.
• Two enclosed 4x4m horse stables, veranda walkway, hay storage and wash down areas under main roof of implement shed.
• Hay barn (fully enclosed) and additional implement shed - both renovated.
All farm buildings freshly painted for a co-ordinated appearance.
The Rangiuru Saleyards are just the other side of Te Puke and an important consideration for selling and buying stock, being an easy distance from here.
