7957 State Highway 2, Opotiki Surrounds, Opotiki

Waioeka Wonderland

This substantial 607 hectare (more or less) property known as Raysburn Station is offered for sale only the second time in over 100 years, originally a sheep and beef property which was then converted to a deer farm, the current owners have used it for recreation for the previous few years, however it has not been hunted or had any chemical sprays used. Wild deer, cattle beasts and pigs have had the run of the place.
Situated in a very handy highway location, yet isolated enough to make this property very interesting. Remnants of a fully operational sheep and beef property remain, with a barn, woolshed and shearers' quarters, which certainly retains all the character of a bygone era. The contour is a mix of flat, medium and steep.
Four-wheel drive tracks provide access around the 160 odd hectares of grassland, most of which is deer fenced. For the more adventurous or those that are fit, many hours of enjoyable trekking and hunting abound in the vast areas of un-spoilt mature native forest over the balance of the land. At least eight kilometres of fresh water streams run through the property, many of which start from head guts or springs contained within the property, many with water falls that cascade through the large variety of premium examples of New Zealand's Eastern North Island's native flora and fauna. The property is not registered under the emissions trading scheme. This presents a unique opportunity to secure a very large and beautiful piece of paradise, the perfect retreat or build a luxury hunting lodge. Expecting offers over $2,200,000 plus GST.
