Seldom does the opportunity arise to present to the market such a magnificent, well-managed property offering substantial volumes of produce from two established sources.
Just a short drive from the thriving township of Katikati, this property occupies a private and tranquil setting, surrounded by what is recognised as absolutely prime horticultural land deserving of its reputation as New Zealand’s Avocado Capital.
Spread over two titles, the combined land area of 17.0 hectares (more or less) features approximately 1,000 producing avocados of mixed age and a Blueberry orchard spanning approximately one hectare, all under cover with around 3,600 bushes.
Included in the sale as a ‘going concern’ is a comprehensive range of orchard machinery and equipment allowing freedom of choice in operation and timing, a crucial factor in horticultural management. Two sheds provide undercover shelter for plant and machinery, with ample area for loading outgoing and incoming goods.
The recently refurbished main dwelling on its elevated northerly site features a stunning outdoor setting flowing from the main living area. A view shaft over the orchard takes in a peep of the harbour and Mauao in the background. With predominately single level day to day living, the home’s lower level includes internal access to the double garage and adjoining office.
Across the driveway is a substantial, self-contained two bedroom unit originally consented as a garage / studio. With dedicated outdoor living area and fresh decor, the studio is perfect for extended family, accommodation for orchard staff or additional income as a rental or BnB.
The Western Bay of Plenty continues to draw large numbers of people wishing to enjoy the climate, coastal location and all the region has to offer. If you are contemplating a new business venture or wish to expand or diversify your interests, now is the time to secure an enviable lifestyle at this desirable orchard property. Selling Plus GST (if any). Tender Closes 30th March at 4pm UNLESS SOLD PRIOR.
