Karaka Lifestyle & orchard

Set in the Karaka countryside, this picturesque and park-like 4.3ha (more or less) lifestyle property is a property packed with features and potential with a lovingly built and maintained colonial American style home overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens and a macadamia orchard all located in a highly desirable position 10km from Auckland Southern motorway.
The 249sqm (more or less) dwelling is an elegant two-level home well-appointed throughout that looks out over the gardens and orchard. Downstairs you'll find the master and ensuite, a large country kitchen with spacious dining and living areas that open out to the veranda and garden. Upstairs are two large bedrooms and bathroom + snug study and the dormer windows and balcony that open out to a charming rural view.
The abundant vegetable and flower garden with a range of fruit trees has been lovingly nurtured and refined to allow self-sufficiency. There is plenty of shedding for machinery and storage and a bore for water. All elements of the property combined to create a picture-perfect setting all year round. A testament is a use on multiple occasions for film and advertising production.
The orchard of macadamia nut trees are of varying ages, production, and cultivars, developed and nurtured with an exceptional level of care. The Macadamia trees are currently producing two tonnes per year of nuts with an expected yield increase by a further 25% on a year-on-year basis up to a projected 15+ tonnes per annum, a win-win for the new owners to capitalise on. The processing shed with necessary implements and machinery is all in place. The current owners are happy to assist with a handover and training to help you establish a knowledge base to work from.
Everywhere you go, you'll see the property has been lovingly tendered to. The hard work has been done with the setup and establishment and it's a great opportunity for someone to walk in and live the dream.
Located 10km from Pukekohe, 25km to Manukau City, 32km to Auckland Airport, and 45km to Auckland City.
