Set on 74.2000 hectares (more or less), this well-balanced grazing block offers a practical mix of good river flats, low and medium hill country. With approximately 60 hectares effective and the balance in native bush, the property is currently used as a beef fattening and finishing unit, wintering around 80 mixed-age cattle. Previously run as a dairy farm, the block still holds potential for future diversification or intensification.
The contour is rolling, with a large area of flats, historically used for baleage. Pasture cover is mainly rye, clover and kikuyu. Vendors have followed regenerative farming principles, with no recent soil testing required. There are approximately 30 well-subdivided paddocks. Stock water is pumped from the Waiotama River to a header tank above the 12ASHB cowshed and gravity-fed to troughs across the farm. There are two effluent ponds (no longer in use) below the cowshed. Improvements include a three bay implement shed, lock-up cabin at the cowshed and a pump shed by the river. The property also includes an orchard, banana grove, and chook run, along with a large, flat area above the house that the previous owner developed as a horse arena.
A tidy four-bedroom home sits in an elevated position, enjoying wide rural views across the valley and an orchard at the rear. Comfortably liveable and well-positioned, the home provides a strong base for owner-occupiers or farm managers. The location is another key drawcard - situated around halfway between Maungatapere and Maungakaramea Village and just 25 minutes to the Whangārei CBD.
This is a versatile unit with the balance of grazing, infrastructure, and native character - ideal for those looking to take the step up from a lifestyle block or secure a practical support block in a proven farming area.
