443C SH2 - The orchard

Are you looking for a mature green and gold kiwifruit orchard located in the picturesque location of Waiotahe, Ohiwa? The current vendor has owned the property for the last 24 years and all the hard work is already done here. The property has a total land area of 12.1273 hectares and is made up of 1.86 canopy hectares of Hayward Green and 1.04 ca/ha of G3 Gold, as well as a small development block of 0.31 ca/ha (currently planted in male plants) giving a total canopy area of 3.21 hectares. The balance of the land (8.91 ha) is mostly made up of grazing land, with some potential for further planting.

The G3Gold component of the property is made up of three compartments and sits between 10-18 metres asl elevation. The Hayward Green portion of the property is divided into 2 separate blocks. The lower block (two compartments) sits between 8-10 metres asl elevation, while the upper terrace is sitting at an elevation of between 58-68 metres asl.

This is a well-presented orchard with the crop grown on a pergola structure (converted from T-Bar assembly) with Ag Beam support rails, galvanized steel angle bracing and reinforced Deadman ends. The property offers varied topography and both natural and artificial shelter as well as a multi bay open sided implement shed, stockyards and load out bay area.

Irrigation and frost protection is supplied by a bore that feeds into a lined pond. This activity comes under Bay of Plenty Regional Council consent number RM22-0601 which allows for an annual water take of 13,138 m3. A tow and blow fan for frost protection is also included in the sale.

Also on offer is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Lockwood dwelling situated on its own title adjacent to the orchard block. Buyers have the option to purchase this house block as well as the orchard, or purchase the orchard on its own. The dwelling sits on a manageable-sized plot within a mature garden environment and there is also a multi-bay and enclosed implement shed included in this parcel of land.
