Situated in the sunny Eastern Bay of Plenty where grass grows deep and green and where the climate suits a range of crops. This property boasts a classic range of tree crops including;

20.6 Ha of Kiwiberry on pergola structures

3.059 Ha of Royal Star plums using espalier system

3.016 Ha of Meyer lemons

1.511 Ha of limes

1.520 Ha of Papples using espalier system

This orchard has had a huge amount of capital pumped into it and the new owner will reap the rewards of the hard work and capital investment that has been injected into the property. With the arrival of PSA the orchard had to be re-invented and although it was going well as a Hayward block the swing toward Kiwiberry was made for economic reasons and to avoid PSA implications. This being said, there is a huge opportunity to use the current infrastructure to develop G.3 or any other kiwifruit variety worthy of economic development.

The property is subdivided into six separate titles and is available for sale in one lot or any option of the six. With a basic implement shed for machinery storage the property is not over-capitalised with buildings but adequately catered for in this department.

The field drainage system is a series of nova-flow pipes into open drains and is cleaned annually by a design-specific hydraulic cleaner that tunnels up the nova flow and cleans out mud and root material that would otherwise block the pipes. Drainage is essential and this development has been significant in making this property horticulturally effective.

The property boasts two x brick homes, three x bedrooms, two bathrooms and one has an office. Both internal entry garaging and scope for further landscaping. Both currently rented and this as static income is a bonus, but would be ideal as a manger/foreman dwelling.

Good water supply from two bores, but the main supply has been tested and results are available. Several 20,000 litre tanks for storage pipes and irrigation complete the package.

In summary this 47.650 hectare property offers not only diversity but a horticultural base in a location that with good management can grow anything. Tenders Close Thursday 31 August 2017 at 4pm.
