Rarely does a property of this scale, quality and contour come to the market. Located approximately 27 kilometres west of Hawke's Bay Airport in the popular Rissington district. Riverbank Station totals 833 hectares (in five titles) and boasts large portions of easy contour. This impressive landholding has benefitted from a strong fertiliser history and capital investment under the eight year tenure of Samuel and Hannah Whitelock. Providing over 40 kilometres of new conventional fencing, new cattle and sheep yards and investment in pasture renewal, this farm is set to go to another level.
With a large storage dam, consent has been granted to irrigate up to 45 hectares of flats which could grow forage crops or maize for local dairy farmers.
Well subdivided with excellent laneways and six kilometres of road frontage provides for excellent vehicle and stock movement, while the main spring fed water system reticulates to approximately half of the farm, other springs and large dams throughout provide excellent stock water.
Improvements include the main 1890s four bedroom homestead, a centrally located five bedroom managers residence on separate title, a three bedroom stock managers residence and refurbished shearers quarters. The four stand woolshed and new sheepyards along with refurbished central cattle yards and new steel cattle yards top off this immaculate property.
Riverbank Station is bound by the Mangaone River which is renowned for its excellent trout fishing. The property also holds resident red deer for your fix of private hunting, while the agritourism options of glamping by the river provide possible additional income.
This is truly a trophy farm that has seen significant capital investment that the new owner will reap the rewards from. All this in close proximity to Napier city and its amenities
