‘The Laurels’ presents a compelling opportunity to secure a well-balanced and productive sheep and beef property in a tightly held farming district. Of strategic scale, the property spans a versatile area of 476 hectares, offering an accessible and viable option for a wide range of purchasers - whether as a standalone unit or a strong addition to an existing farming portfolio.
Recently carrying up to 3,900 stock units, the farm reflects the abundance of healthy, productive country and a favourable farming climate. These attributes provide flexibility within farming systems and the scope to push production levels further. The contour is well balanced, with productive flats to the front, rising to warm, sheltered hill country through the centre and rear of the property, boasting ocean views - all creating an efficient and practical grazing platform. In addition to its farming strengths, the property offers excellent recreational opportunities, including great hunting and duck shooting, making it as enjoyable as it is productive.
The homestead is a true centrepiece, privately positioned amongst beautifully established grounds. Spacious open-plan living areas, generous bedrooms, and functional outdoor areas combine to create a versatile home suited to both family living and entertaining. An inviting swimming pool and manicured tennis court enhance the setting, perfect for enjoying long summer days, while the rustic and character-filled 'man cave' adds further appeal. Complementing the homestead is a well-positioned two-bedroom cottage.
Farm infrastructure is a standout, with the main operational hub located at the front of the property. Centred around the woolshed with covered yards, the improvements include extensive cattle yards along with an abundance of quality sheds and supporting facilities, all contributing to a smooth and easy-care farming operation.
A sought-after location, ‘The Laurels’ is situated just 21km from the edge of Gisborne. The property is part of the renowned and vibrant Waerenga-o-Kuri rural community, with the nearby community hall and popular primary school adding to the appeal for families and farming businesses alike.
‘The Laurels’ represents a magnificent opportunity to acquire a very capable sheep and beef operation, equally suited as a standalone farming unit or as a strong early-country addition to existing operations across nearby localities.
