Motukiore Forest, Okaihau, Far North

Motukiore Forest is a substantial second-rotation forestry investment located west of Kaikohe in one of Northland's proven forestry areas. Comprising three contiguous blocks with a combined title area of 1,441.8 hectares, the estate offers scale, easy to moderate terrain, established infrastructure, and a well-balanced age class profile.



The Aratoro, Carr and Jones Block together create an integrated forestry estate with extensive internal access and the operational efficiencies associated with a holding of this size. The forest includes a diverse mix of productive Pinus Radiata age classes, with significant areas approaching harvest, alongside opportunities for future afforestation. An existing Forest Lease which is included in the sale, is over part of the Aratoro Block.



Predominantly classified as Land Use Class 6, the estate features low to moderate erosion risk and is well suited to cost-effective ground-based harvesting. Two on-site aggregate sources, a commercial quarry nearby, and an established roading network further enhance future harvesting efficiencies.



Motukiore Forest has excellent access to domestic processing facilities and Northport at Marsden Point, providing flexibility across both export and domestic log markets.



Forestry assets of this scale, offering productive second-rotation forests, progressive harvest potential, expansion opportunities, and favourable terrain are increasingly difficult to secure. Whether as a cornerstone investment or an addition to an existing forestry portfolio, Motukiore Forest presents an outstanding opportunity for long-term forestry ownership.
