811 Hakarimata Road, Huntly, Waikato

Great lifestyle, great return

Set beneath the picturesque Hakarimata ranges and zoned lifestyle, this highly profitable persimmon orchard is reaping the rewards of 36 years of work and development by the current owner. Everything is in place to take over a pristine property with an excellent income stream, fantastic lifestyle and subdivision potential.
The 2.3 canopy hectares (more or less) of Fuyu persimmons were planted in the mid 1980's and have produced an average of 15,100 tray equivalents over the past three years. The productive orchard has benefitted from outstanding husbandry and is fully compliant with industry standards. Protected by established shelter belts, the four hectare (more or less) block is set on all flat contour in a great horticulture area which has proven to be the perfect location for these fruit. With trickle fed irrigation water is supplied by a bore, while a large load out and storage area provides further appeal. Improvements include extensive implement and storage shedding to accommodate tractors, spray equipment and other associated plant. The orchard has generated great revenue for the current owners and as one of only a relatively small number of growers in the area, this horticulture property provides outstanding opportunity to further develop in a niche industry with minimal competition.
Set in a peaceful rural setting on Hakarimata Road, the property is across the road from the Waikato river which offers a fantastic lifestyle and an abundance of recreational activities including jetskiing, kayaking, swimming and walking tracks. The family home is privately nestled among the persimmon trees and surrounded by established gardens. Open and spacious, the quality home has sun drenched living areas ideal for entertaining or relaxing. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas and office there is ample space for the whole family. North facing outdoor areas span the length of the home and provide seamless indoor/outdoor flow capturing magnificent views of Taupiri mountain, with the beautiful bush clad Hakarimata range in the background. An inground swimming pool set amongst tropical plantings will make you feel like you are on vacation, and will provide hours of fun for the whole family. There is ample space for the kids to explore with the rear of the block enhanced by an exotic forest and established trees.
The commute north and south is only getting easier with The Base Hamilton 23 minutes south, and Auckland 100 kilometres north. This is an excellent central location and offers good local amenities with the big city only a short drive and providing all services, facilities and levels of schooling.
All establishment work has been done with good infrastructure, overall workability and ease of management in place. This is a unique and special property which offers a diverse and desirable lifestyle, subdivision opportunity, and successful business with potential for future growth abundant with opportunity.
