Property details

Listing # 2576878 | Listed on 10 October

Faithfully farmed for generations, this property has a proud history as highly productive dairy land and, in more recent years, has been leased for dairy support. Comprising 67.5303 hectares (more or less), the land offers a diverse mix of soil types that ensure productivity and flexibility. Fertile areas deliver high-yield maize and grass silage crops, while lighter sandy soils are ideally suited for wintering stock, encouraging early spring growth, and sustaining all-season production. This balance makes the block versatile and well-positioned for farming, cropping, or horticultural ventures.

The property is held across six titles with three separate road frontages, providing genuine flexibility for buyers, whether looking to purchase part of the block or secure it in its entirety.

Two homes are included, both currently tenanted. The larger residence, set on 2,775sqm (more or less), dates from the 1940s and is constructed of timber weatherboard with an iron roof. It features three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a generous kitchen, kept cosy by a log fire. Outside, a garage and a separate tool shed add practicality. The second home sits on approximately 5,000 sqm and is also weatherboard in construction, offering three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a single-car garage. Both dwellings provide useful income streams, options for family accommodation, or homes for farm staff.

Further farm improvements include an old cowshed, which is now used for drafting, has an artificial inseminating and load out race. Additional infrastructure includes two implement sheds and a deer shed, providing excellent storage and operational support. Water is a real asset here, supplied by a reliable bore and reticulated to all paddocks. Fencing is a mix of post-and-wire and deer mesh, ensuring strong boundary security and stock management. Road and drainage reserves also contribute to the holding, creating a significant area of valuable long-acre grazing land.

Location is a standout feature. With direct access to Aerodrome Road, the property offers more than just farming potential; it also presents genuine lifestyle appeal. The airport, golf club, and beach are all within easy reach, while convenient back-road access leads directly into town. As the town boundary steadily expands, the strategic position of this property ensures long-term benefits for the astute investor.

Whether your vision is farming, cropping, horticulture, or land banking for the future, this property represents a rare combination of scale, versatility, and location. Offering both practical productivity and strategic upside, it truly has it all.

To be sold by Tender - Closing 4:00 pm, Thursday, 13 November 2025 (unless sold prior) at Bayleys Whakatane, 202B The Strand, Whakatane.
