Maungaturoto is a well-managed, first-rotation Pinus radiata forest located in the Kaipara district. Successfully established on land highly suited to forestry, the crop has benefited from historic farm fertiliser applications and the region’s temperate climate.

The vendor has commenced a clearwood pruning regime, with the first lift completed, aiming to create a high-value tree crop ideal for domestic sawmills. The forest benefits from an excellent location for both domestic and export markets, with Northport just 55 kilometres* away and multiple processing facilities within an economic cart of less than 70 kilometres, offering excellent marketing flexibility for future harvests.

Registered under the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) as ‘standard forestry’ (averaging) with participation transferable to the incoming owner, Maungaturoto offers the ability to generate substantial ongoing carbon revenue whilst planning for a future production harvest.

Key Features Include:
• 438ha* freehold land, 383ha* NSA;
• Pinus radiata established 2019 and 2020 with minor plantings 1996;
• ETS-registered under 'Averaging’, significant sequestration profile;
