Braemar has been tightly held by the Morrison/ Abernethy family since 1918 and offers a unique opportunity to acquire a high-end cropping and finishing farm in the Ruataniwha Basin.
Situated only 10.2km West of Waipukurau, the property consists of 313.4252ha being held in three titles.
A standout feature is an entire property with class one soils. Irrigation groundwater consent for 900,000m3 per annum awaits Court decision, and seismic electric surveys have identified potential groundwater sources, creating opportunities for horticulture and other land uses.
An application has been made for a 20-year groundwater consent to use up to 900,000m3 per annum for irrigation over an area of up to 278ha. A decision from the Environment Court is anticipated shortly.
A 27ha consented feed lot at the Northwestern end of the farm offers ideal wintering cattle options. Farm water is reticulated from two bores with a separate bore for the house.
Excellent fertiliser history, laneway systems for access along with tile draining compliment the farm. Improvements include the main home with five bedrooms, a three-bedroom older cottage, 2018 built three stand woolshed, workshop, Te Pari cattle yards and sheep yards.
Braemar combines scale, flat contour, and some of the finest Hastings silt loam soils in Central Hawke’s Bay, providing a highly versatile and productive farming opportunity.
