737 Waihoki Valley Road, Pongaroa, Tararua, Wairarapa

This 621 hectare property of strong hill country presents a range of options with exposure to different markets.

Planted in 2017, 193ha of manuka is entered in the ETS, attracting carbon and honey income. There is potential to increase this through additional planting with the option of continuing with indigenous plantings or further diversifying with other species. The property also has a history of pastoral farming, with regular rainfall, good fertiliser history and sound infrastructure.

Set on a separate title, the 4 bedroom bungalow-style home offers comfortable accommodation. Featuring ornate plaster ceilings, native timber detailing, and an open plan kitchen/dining area. There is a single garage adjacent to the house with additional space for a workbench or storage. Improvements include a three stand woolshed (350 N.P.), satellite sheep yards, implement shed and killing house.

From manuka and bees, to carbon and the ETS, right through to pastoral farming and recreational hunting, this property has options.
