Attractive orchard life

This property will be sold plus GST (if any).
An attractive combination of productive avocado orchard, cute cottage for accommodation options and beautiful site with views for a future home. This very appealing 2.4229 ha could provide the ideal lifestyle with income for active retirees or professionals wishing to mix country life with city careers.

Intensive maintenance and upgrading over several years has transformed a good avocado orchard into parklike peak of perfection. Good husbandry and pruning has substantially increased the yield from the 144 mature trees. The drive curves along the edge of the fully irrigated orchard passing a 70sqm (approx.) concrete floored, half round shed for storing and working on orchard equipment.

Continue up the drive and discover a contemporary board and batten cottage nestling in the trees, its wide covered deck adding lots of living space, even an outdoor bath. Airy pitched ceilings and clean rustic interiors make it very Airbnb in atmosphere, a serene rural retreat if you planned to live off site or ideal as guest accommodation. Fun to live in, too, while you plan and build a home further up the drive on the beautifully elevated site on the plateau above. It's a pleasure to pop up the grassy drive from the sheltered orchard and enjoy 360-degree views overlooking your trees to the Kaimai Ranges and over rolling countryside to where estuary meets harbour backed by Matakana Island. There is power to the site.

This photogenic property has already appeared in marketing for avocados and on 'Best of NZ' with chef Nick Honeyman. It may prove equally beautiful to you in offering so many options and in providing an orchard nurtured near prime production while leaving potential to capitalise on the opportunity to add a home enhancing the property and embracing the views.
