Scale, quality, and sustainability define this premium opportunity. Te Wera Forest combines over 400 hectares of newly established Pinus Radiata with a favourable harvest profile and a high proportion of ground-based logging. This foundation offers investors a unique balance of strong timber returns and significant carbon income potential—appealing to both domestic and international buyers seeking long term value.
Positioned for efficiency, Te Wera enjoys direct access from a centrally located public road. The forest is just 35 kilometres from Juken New Zealand Mill, 36 kilometres from Kiwi Lumber Masterton, and 112 kilometres from CentrePort Wellington. This proximity to processors and export infrastructure ensures cost-effective operations, reduces cartage risk, and enhances market access.
With scale, ETS registration under averaging, an on-site limestone source, and outstanding connectivity to key infrastructure, Te Wera Forest represents a compelling low-risk investment. The combination of strong environmental credentials and robust operational economics underpins long-term performance across both timber and carbon markets.
Te Wera is marketed as part of an exclusive Wairarapa forestry aggregation, totaling 1,132 hectares. This portfolio scale provides investors with strategic depth and the flexibility to optimise returns across multiple high-quality assets.
The forests are being marketed by NZ Forest Sales by way of a two-stage tender process. Stage one indicative offers close at 2pm on the 30th of October 2025, with stage two formal binding offers closing at 2pm on the 27th of November 2025.
