On offer are two well located cherry orchards situated in the flourishing Central Otago region, and there is the option to purchase them either together to create additional scale, or individually.
The vendor could continue to manage the ongoing operations of these orchards which includes the selling of the produce to global export markets making this a tidy investment for someone looking to diversify their property investment portfolio. Alternatively the vendor would consider an outright sale.
With Central Otago's unique growing conditions and its harvest season coinciding with Lunar New Year celebrations in Chinese culture, these orchards are well placed to command premium pricing in the export market. The vendor's established business connections and contracts with two state-of-the-art packhouses ensures robust supply chain security, traceability and food safety protocols.
The two properties are located in two well-known cherry growing regions - Bendigo (which has most of Central Otago's new plantings), and the more established Earnscleugh district.
Bendigo Orchard - 195.0427 hectares
• Located on Thomsons Gorge Rd with 83ha planted in 2020, 2021 and 2022 (still coming into full production)
• A further 103ha is available for planting
• Forecast production upon maturity of 4000 tonne (if total property is fully planted)
• Wide range of cherry varieties (8 varieties) to target specific markets and to provide fruit at key times during the harvest window
• Predominant planting across the orchard is the higher density Planar system
• Water storage with irrigation sourced from private scheme water via Clutha River
McPherson Orchard - 21.8613 hectares
• Located on McPherson Rd with 18 hectares planted with about 40% of modern plantings
• Wide range of cherry varieties
• Predominantly planted in the higher density Planar system
• Reliable irrigation sourced from local scheme
• Well laid out and easily managed
These orchards offer a fully integrated investment into Central Otago cherries with the benefit of not only a visionary management group to run the operational side of the orchards, but additional future growth in production given the age of plantings and availability of plantable land.
