Green - Gold and Seven Bedroom Accommodation
This 5.09ha property is well located in the industry recognised high producing kiwifruit region of Opotiki. With a large home of five bedrooms and a two bedroom sleepout, it has the scope to develop a much-needed accommodation facility for the area or make an attractive, functional family horticulture lifestyle property with a supplementary income stream for those who want to work off farm.
The orchard comprises a mapped canopy area of 3.2 hectares set in fully mature natural shelter. There are two fully mature areas of Hayward green of 0.53 and 0.48 hectares. All vines are growing on sturdy ag-beam pergola structures. Within the canopy area there are four blocks totalling 1.41 hectares that were grafted to Hayward green in the winter of 2021 with an additional block of 0.49 hectares of Sungold GA3. The licence for this GA3 block is not owned by the vendor and can be bought with the property outside the orchard sale. The vines are irrigated, and frost protected from a fully automated cold water bore within the property.
The property sits at approximately 15 metres (more or less) above sea level with a very good standard of improvement throughout and is surrounded by other orchards.
If you are an existing grower or looking to invest in your future with a facility to attract committed staff, enabling you to manage your way through the anticipated labour challenges the industry is facing, then 2279 Waioeka Road must be a serious consideration.
