16451 Route 52, Masterton, Masterton

Mangarei

This impressive large-scale landholding is located between the well regarded farming districts of Ihuarua and Bideford only 32kms and 25 minutes drive north of Masterton. Known collectively as Mangarei, the four blocks that have been accumulated over time now make up a scale 12,000 SU sheep and beef breeding and finishing unit. The 11 titles present purchase options to the market with three natural smaller properties each with a house and farm infrastructure.

Access to the property is excellent entering Little Trig from Route 52 on the Western side or Mangarei via Bideford Valley off the Wairiri Road. The well formed Daggs Roads connects the blocks to the north giving significant road frontage along the northern, western and eastern boundaries of the contiguous land holding.

An emphasis on development and inputs is clear and is a credit to the hard work of the current owners. Fencing and fertiliser investments have been made year in and year out which shines through in the quality of land on offer, a dam fed water reticulation system has been set up to provide trough water to stock throughout the property. The level of subdivision is to a standard not often seen on properties of this scale with approximately 130 paddocks at an average paddock size of circa 10 hectares.

The traditional breeding and finishing system winters 9.6 SU/ha carrying 6,350 MA Romney Ewes plus replacements and 240 MA Angus cows plus trading stock. Improvements include three dwellings and four main stock handling sites with woolsheds and covered yards all in very sound condition and full working order. Multiple sets of satellite sheep yards and three sets of cattle yards in very good condition are well positioned on each block. An airstrip is located on the Little Trig block close to Route 52 with all-weather tracking and covered fertiliser bin.

This is an incredible opportunity and at a scale not often seen in the Wairarapa hill country market. With purchase options available this will attract interest across the market.
