251B Esdaile Road, Whakamarama, Western Bay of Plenty, Bay of Plenty

Take a drive off a prestigious country road to discover options for income and a canvas to create your ideal rural lifestyle on 24.61 hectares (more or less) with a long river boundary.

The comprehensive property spans good shedding with several bays and unconsented guest accommodation, above an established building site with power access that overlooks the ponds. The ponds and the long boundary that runs along the middle of the Waipapa River, are attractive features of a comprehensive property for a lifestyle supported by various income streams.

An excellent track network accesses orchards, borders the ponds, navigates NZ native bush and a large stand of Black Walnut trees, links the blueberries and a wide clear area (parking, turning, loading, camping!) before it leads you down to this pretty Kaimai Ranges originating river where summer fun and cooling dips await.

The revenue opportunities from the Hidden Valley orchards can be as active or passive as you wish. Easily managed mature avocado trees cover about a hectare. There is 3.0 canopy hectares (approximately) of established green kiwifruit, also included is another half hectare (approximately) of young kiwi scheduled for their first crop in April/May 2024.

The most lucrative proposition could be the 1.3 hectare (approximately) of blueberry bushes with good infrastructure. The bushes are all under cover and have automated fertiliser and irrigation systems with machinery housed in one of two sheds that serve the operation. There are staff quarters set up for daily use and a barbeque area.

The location may feel sequestered from the outside world, yet you will live within a couple of kilometres of the local primary school, can catch buses to high schools and commute to Tauranga City; rapidly growing Omokoroa’s coastal peninsula even closer.

The Hidden Valley has all the ingredients for creating a genuine pastoral paradise and capitalising on the income opportunities to make that escape to the country an exciting and valid choice. To be sold plus GST (if any).
