Located 30 minutes from Ashhurst in the picturesque Pohangina Valley, this 343 hectare property offers an excellent opportunity for first farm ownership or to be an outstanding addition to an existing business.
All except for 30 hectares of the 240 effective hectares are deer fenced with a mix of topped up conventional fences and post and netting fences. A central lane provides access directly to the deer handling facilities. Currently the property carries 250 velveting stags and 150 mixed aged hinds along with 250 ma ewes with lambs at foot (153% docking in 2024), 80 ma cows with calves at foot and 20 R2 cattle. Historically the farm has run 2,560 stock units.
The contour is made up of approximately 24 ha of the farm being cultivatable, 120 ha of medium hill contour, 120 ha of steeper hill with the balance being approx 80 ha which has been planted in trees or left in native bush.
Recent focus on the property has been increased productivity and this has seen investments in fencing, regrassing, fertiliser, water reliability, access and stock handling facilities. The property has a sound 4 stand wool shed plus covered yards, deer handling yards, sheep yards, a 3 bay pole shed with a lockable workshop and sundry farm buildings.
The four bedroom home is set amongst mature gardens and has a open plan kitchen/dining area with a separate lounge that looks across native bush and the Pohangina river. Located in close proximity to the house is a separate 3 bay shed with a lockable workshop.
This property has special aesthetic appeal with the Ruahine ranges as a back drop and the Pohangina river on its door step. This coupled with the diverse range of livestock classes you can farm means it is well worth your consideration.
