0n Junction Road, Matau, Stratford

Situated in the picturesque Purangi/Matau district on Aukawa Road, this 192 hectare (more or less) property presents a unique opportunity to secure an established carbon forestry investment, complemented by native bush, livestock grazing and recreational appeal.

The property comprises approximately 144 hectares of native forest, including 82 hectares protected under two QEII Open Space Covenants, together with 36.5 hectares of carbon forestry and 11.5 hectares of grazing land. The carbon forestry component is registered under the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), providing an established carbon income stream, with the potential for ongoing returns subject to ETS requirements.

The grazing land is subdivided into 13 paddocks with good fencing and a reticulated water system supplying troughs throughout. Supporting infrastructure includes two large pole sheds, one incorporating a lockable storage area, additional shedding and a separate toilet block.

A well-appointed cabin provides comfortable accommodation for recreational stays, featuring kitchen and bathroom facilities, hot and cold running water, a lounge, sleeping accommodation and an outdoor veranda overlooking the surrounding natural environment.

A particularly attractive feature of the property is its established conservation and recreational value. Extensive pest control undertaken over approximately 20 years has supported a thriving native ecosystem, providing habitat for kiwi, native birdlife and other wildlife. Two established walking tracks, a small wetland and areas of mature and regenerating native bush further enhance the property's appeal.

Additional opportunities include small-scale honey production, livestock grazing and potential recreational income, complementing the property's established forestry activities.
Combining carbon forestry, conservation, recreation and lifestyle appeal, this is a distinctive rural holding offering purchasers the opportunity to secure a substantial landholding with multiple potential income streams in a peaceful and private setting.
