Te Puna parkland for pleasure, plants for profit

A comprehensive property with opportunities to combine business with pleasure.

Two thriving plant nurseries, well patronised by landscapers and private purchasers, occupy the front half of this central Te Puna property. Beechwood Plants is independently run, Plant Struck by the property owner. There is a 63 x 10 m (approx.) greenhouse, a 28 x 10m crop cover and a 45m2 (approx.) relocatable building which serves as the office. The businesses give you options to perhaps take over one or work out an agreement with the current operators where they may lease back.

However, you may be most struck by the rear half of this 1.3836ha property which is in beautiful parkland, a mix of established native and exotic trees. Its foliage separates it completely from the greenhouse, lawns and out buildings of the nurseries and there are sunny expanses just begging for a new home worthy of this ready-made setting surrounded by a huge horse chestnut tree, avocados, oaks, redwood, hornbeam, copper beeches and maples, attractively underplanted with colourful clivia.

The existing dwelling on this property is a large weatherboard home and double garage inside the second road entrance to the property (the nurseries use the other entrance). The friendly spacious home has open plan living and separate lounge. The basement rooms have been used as office space. Lawns sweep below the home to the rows of plants which make up the business concerns benefiting from the burgeoning building industry in the area which has a strong flow on effect in the landscaping market.

An enticing proposition with scope for income and a park to call home in a popular location where children can walk to Te Puna Primary School and you can stroll down the concreted footpath to the local café.
