Makahu Forest is a premier first rotation forestry asset strategically located on Mangaehu Road in the renowned Taranaki region.
Comprising approximately 320 hectares, Makahu Forest was established in 2024 with 271 hectares of Pinus radiata, and a further 20.8 hectares was planted this season with a combination of Totara and Manuka. Currently, 230 hectares are registered in the ETS under averaging, with an additional 22 hectares to be added following this year's planting — enhancing both the carbon and forestry investment profile.
Managed to the highest industry standards, the forest is already demonstrating exceptional early growth, driven by superior establishment practices and outstanding site conditions. The land benefits from a medium contour, providing operational efficiencies, and enjoys direct road access.
Makahu Forest is positioned just 83 km from the Port of Taranaki which is widely regarded as one of New Zealand's most reliable and efficient export facilities. Coupled with this, is the Taranaki Pine Sawmill being 76 km from the forest gate.
