673 Matahiia Road, Ruatoria, Gisborne

Matahiia Station is a beautiful East Coast sheep and beef breeding and finishing farm of scale with an excellent mix of contour and mixed land use. Extensive building and infrastructure are in place so continued operation of the breeding and finishing operation can be undertaken with ease. Alternatively, with significant afforestation in the region, Matahiia presents a greenfield forest conversion opportunity of scale.
