You couldn't ask for a better start to your orcharding career, with new seasons crop and a list of machinery included in the sale. The property will appeal to a wide range of people from lifestylers looking to make additional income from the land, to mechanics and contractors who could use the sheds as an onsite workshop and work the local area.
Our retiring vendors have called it time after 24 much loved years on this property. Originally a blank canvas, the property now boasts one hectare of established gardens, with a large variety of plant and tree species including fruit trees. The bird life and sub-tropical theme surrounding the home is truly spectacular, feeling like you're a world away, yet only 15km from Whangarei CBD and a couple of minutes drive to the busy Maungatapere Village.
The Avocado orchard covers some three hectares with approximately 330 trees in good health, across all blocks. The pruning program over the last few seasons has resulted in lower tree height and more accessible canopies for pruning, harvesting and spraying operations. The multiple water sources, easy contour and volcanic soils could also be well suited to kiwifruit conversion adding a bit of diversity to the mix.
Orchard infrastructure consists of multiple water sources, good size loading bay, six sheltered blocks, frost protection system, four bay open-sided implement shed and six bay implement shed with workshop.
Tucked away amongst the gardens and palm trees is the three bedroom brick and tile home with a massive outdoor deck - bring the family along , chill out and enjoy your sub-tropical oasis.
