5932 State Highway 27, Ngarua, Waikato Blueberry Success

With our current vendor ready to go and retire at the beach, the opportunity now exists for a new operator to step into this highly profitable business.

This Blueberry orchard is located on some very fertile soils centrally located, 10 minutes from Matamata, Morrinsville and Te Aroha on State Highway 27.

This 15.83 ha (approx.) property consists of 3.9 ha (approx.) of blueberries and raspberries covered with bird netting. Careful variety selection has meant that the orchard has fruit supply for most of the summer months with harvest commencing from late November and finishing mid-April.

The operation is fully self-contained having its own packing and cold storage facilities while product is awaiting transport to markets. At present between 85 - 90% of this crop is exported, with the remaining 10 - 15% sold to domestic market and some going local.

This orchard is fully irrigated from its own water supply, the packhouse has all the necessary equipment and storage capacity from fruit handing, post-harvest and there is ample room for trucks to load and unload safely.

With the high returns earned from this orchard, there is still room for more development and growth. There is land available for future planting and the onsite pack house is not yet running at full capacity.

This property comes complete with a stunning four bedroom home, with double garage.

This can all be purchased as a going concern; this would include all machinery with discussions around this year's crop be to be negotiated.
