2207 State Highway 2, Opotiki, Whakatane, Bay of Plenty Vendor wants SOLD

This well-performing 4.8 ca/ha Hayward Green KiwiStart orchard is ready for new owners to hit the ground running. Just minutes from the packhouse, this property has 3 post-harvest facilities in close proximity.

7.8 ha total land area, as well as excellent shedding, including a workers' accommodation, tool shed and agrichemical shed, this property offers facilities such as a workshop/tearoom unit attached to the shed, flush toilet located at the far end of the block, a gravel load-out bay and sprayer filling station.

A lovely 4 bed brick home with attached double garage is ideal accommodation for the orchard manager.

The bore has a new consent until 2038 with an allocation of 30,036 cubic metres p/a and the capacity to irrigate and frost-protect the entire orchard. A harvest weather site monitoring system tracks air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, while soil probes provide data about soil moisture levels.

Other improvements include drainage and under-vine soil aeration, internal posts replaced in blocks 1,3 & 4, vertical high wind shelters and under-vine shelters. A 0.19 ca/ha block of 2yr old male plant varieties provide pollen, while a 0.43 ca/ha block is ready to plant out - posts are installed.

Performing at above-average levels, this orchard would make a great investment as the hard work has been done. The current manager is happy to hand over her blueprint for the future successful operation of the orchard.
