Located just 50km from Kerikeri and 35km south of Kaitaia, and around an hour in each direction to the popular beaches of the east and west coast, this property is ideally positioned at the heart of the Far North, with the recent upgrades to the Mangamuka Gorge offering easy access throughout the region.
This north facing, sun drenched property is comprised of two titles, and is set well back off the main road via a recently upgraded R.O.W. Sheltered from prevailing southwest winds, it presents a fantastic opportunity for honey production, beef grazing, or as a dairy runoff.
Key Features:
• Approximately 50 hectares of quality grazing land, predominantly flat with easy rolling terrain.
• Well established mix of rye, clover, pastures (some kikuyu present), complemented by native bush and robust Manuka and Kanuka stands.
• A fertile combination of soil types, including Pokapu gravely silt loam, Okaka clay, silty clay loam, and small areas of Wharekohe.
The Land:
• Fenced into 7 well-maintained paddocks, with a newly developed metal raceway for easy stock movement.
• Currently operating as a beef and honey property, running 55 heifers and calves with seasonal hay and sileage production.
• The front paddocks are also ideal for cultivating large maize crops.
• Recent upgrades to the fencing system have greatly improved stock management.
• Water & Services:
• Three streams provide natural water sources for the property, with potential for a reticulated water system from on-site springs, two of which are established.
• A state-of-the-art solar system currently supplies power to a large proportion of the fencing.
• Power access is available at the main road, so an off-grid setup would be the ideal option if you're considering building on-site.
• An unformed legal roadway could be potentially instated to provide additional access to the rear of the block.
Manuka Honey Potential:
• Should you choose to tap in to the potential bee lease opportunities, or set up your own hives, there's a proven track record of high-grade Manuka honey production.
• The property has been spray-free for the last eight years.
Local Amenities:
• Close to Mangamuka and Umawera Primary Schools, with Okaihau College and Broadwood School offering high school options.
Recent Developments:
• Over the past two years, significant improvements have been made, including new accessways, two large level metalled areas, and upgraded stock yards.
Whether you're looking for complete change of pace, to diversify your agricultural portfolio, or support your existing dairy operation, this expansive block is primed for its new owners to unlock its full potential.
