Top producing avocado orchard

The four canopy hectares of avocados on a 5.7367 ha property has both natural and manmade advantages.

Located in one of the region's prime horticulture areas and just north of Katikati, the acknowledged 'avocado capital', this orchard enjoys a micro climate sheltered from the prevailing wind and bathed in early morning sunshine due to its north east aspect. Excellent husbandry over the last 16 years has created a flourishing orchard of over 330 Hass avocado trees with a consistent production record. Prudent pruning, helicopter spraying and fertilisation delivers healthy crops with up to 75% export quality and the rest sold on the local market. Last year's crop picked in October, yielded around 20,000 trays processed by Apata Packhouse. Morricado orchard has just been named the Packhouse's number one orchard for highest total avocado production per hectare and fifth in total export trays per hectare (2018/2019 harvest).

Mature shelter belts enhance the gentle contour of three blocks which slope to the harbour's edge. Generous tree spacing provides easy access for harvest and maintenance. The property benefits from town water supply plus its own bore which supplies a 20,000-litre tank. There is a good load out area outside the big orchard shed.

The conscientious maintenance that is evident throughout the orchard, is also displayed in the large family home with beautiful views over the trees to Tauranga harbour, Bowentown Heads and the ocean beyond.

The original Lockwood home has been extended and upgraded for sunny contemporary living with excellent access to decks and outdoor living in established tree clad grounds merging into the orchard. The home's layout spans dual living areas, a modern spacious kitchen and four bedrooms spread over two wings. Embrace glorious isolation in the elevated master suite on one side of the home, welcome guests to the huge bedroom (and third bathroom) on the ground floor while children get their own two-bedroom and bathroom zone above. The deep, high stud double garage and overall excellent condition of the dwelling are more advantages.

The ever-increasing global demand for avocados suggests the timing is ideal for acquisition by an experienced grower, or as a passive investment managed by an independent contractor. Add it to an existing portfolio as an orchard requiring little investment in maintenance for the next few years.

An attractively lucrative orchard conveniently on the coastal side of SH2, a few minutes' drive from Waihi Beach.
