13 Dr Reid Road, Opotiki, Bay of Plenty

The subject property is a fully developed and well producing orchard located in Otara, Opotiki. Planted approximately 60 years ago, this would be one of the original Opotiki kiwifruit orchards, with the current vendors having owned the property for the last 28 years. The property is nicely elevated and has a total land area of 3.64 hectares as well as a 3 bedroom dwelling. The 0.91 ca/ha of G3Gold is located between the two blocks of Hayward Green and was cut-over and grafted in 2013. The Hayward Green component totals 1.97 ca/ha, giving the orchard a total canopy area of 2.88 hectares.

This is a very well-presented orchard with the crop grown on a pergola structure (converted from T-Bar assembly) with Ag Beam support rails, galvanized steel angle bracing and robust, reinforced Deadman ends. The elevated property is sloping in contour and is well sheltered with both natural and artificial shelter. Irrigation and overhead frost protection for the orchard is supplied by 2 bores (one on the property; one from an easement to the neighbour's bore) which allow the property to take up to 35m3 per day without consents. The house is on the town water supply and rain water is collected into a tank for spraying. The dwelling consists of a very neat and tidy 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit that is elevated with north facing views over the orchard. In addition, there is a detached double garage with hobby room plus an attached 2 bay implement shed with workshop.
