Set between Whakatane and Opotiki, this substantial rural holding presents a rare opportunity to secure scale, infrastructure, and versatility in a highly accessible Bay of Plenty location.
2338 State Highway 2, Nukuhou, an 84.9 hectare property formerly operated as a seasonal supply dairy farm and still well equipped with the core infrastructure associated with that land use. Positioned just 26 kilometres from central Whakatane, 20 kilometres from Opotiki, and only 17 kilometres from the popular holiday destination of Ohope Beach, the location combines productive rural land with genuine lifestyle appeal.
The property enjoys a predominantly north-westerly aspect and is naturally sheltered by surrounding hill country. Contour is well balanced, with approximately 25 hectares of flat, fertile river flats, 35 hectares of easy rolling hill, 11 hectares of steeper country, and a further 14 hectares in mature native bush. Soil types vary logically with contour, with sandy loam and river silt on the flats offering good moisture retention, and volcanic ash soils across the hill country. A quarry area on the property produces a form of "Rotten Rock", highlighting the diverse natural resources present.
Subdivision reflects its former dairy operation, with approximately 45 paddocks serviced by an all-weather race and laneway system. Internal fencing is predominantly multi-wire electric, with boundary fencing largely post and batten. The Nukuhou River runs through the property and is crossed by a well-constructed concrete-decked bridge, ensuring reliable access across both sides of the farm. Water supply is via a bore near the former dairy shed, with both low-pressure and high-pressure reticulation systems servicing the property.
Infrastructure includes a 22-aside highline dairy shed with intact milking plant and a 9,100-litre milk vat, supported by a concrete yard with a high-lift backing gate. While no longer suitable for commercial milk supply, the shed would readily support calf rearing or a beef or dairy support operation. Adjacent cattle yards are of very good quality, featuring a raised drench race and load-out facilities. Additional shedding includes a multi-bay half-round barn near the dwelling, a large implement/hay shed, and an older walk-through dairy shed, offering a range of storage options.
The property is complemented by a four-bedroom, one-bathroom brick dwelling of approximately 110 square metres. This home sits within a very tidy and well-maintained house section with a gravel driveway and established specimen trees.
This property is exceptionally well suited to beef production, calf rearing, or as a satellite or support block for a nearby dairy operation. The balance of flat and rolling contour, existing infrastructure, and strategic location make 2338 State Highway 2, Nukuhou a compelling and versatile rural investment opportunity.
