An exciting opportunity is now offered to purchase 'Mason Hills' in its entirety comprises 2536.1650ha. It is a large established sheep and beef unit with a significant income stream from carbon credits, future forestry income, hunting, and apiculture.

In a joint venture with an established forestry company, approximately 155ha of exotic hybrid pines were planted in 2020 and entered into the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). A further 100ha will be planted this winter. Approximately 163ha of regenerating native Manuka has also been entered into the ETS scheme. Full projections for ETS are available.

Honey income is derived from the large areas of Manuka. Mason Hills also provides an exceptional hunting opportunity for both deer and pigs. With a comfortable sleepover hut installed in the bush, this is a ready-made hunting opportunity with income also derived from this.

As a farming operation, Mason Hills is a well-improved, fertile, large-scale pastoral property complemented by impressive infrastructure. The centrally located and modern four-stand RB woolshed with attached covered yards provides night pens for approximately 1,000 woolly ewes and a large set of circular cattle yards that holds approximately 450 cows and calves.

The property has a reticulated plus natural supply of water with dams or creeks. Soil types include red volcanic ash over a large part of the property with very high Olsen P levels.

The near new three bedroom home, being 'off grid', overlooks the Mason River with superb views to the mountains and beyond. Electricity is supplied from solar panels on the nearby two-bay garage and workshop. It has all the modern conveniences one would expect.

Combined with all the recreational pursuits the area offers including being close to the Hanmer Springs thermal resort, fishing and boating on the Waiau River, hunting in the nearby hills, golf at the Amuri course, and a community with a strong spirit, this property makes a uniquely, well-balanced investment.
