Premium Central Otago cherry orchard
An outstanding opportunity to secure a well-established and highly productive 4ha (more or less) Central Otago orchard, located just 15km (approx) north of Cromwell and 40km (approx) south of Wanaka in one of New Zealand's most sought-after cherry-growing regions.
Approximately 3ha are planted in fully productive cherry trees, protected by comprehensive orchard netting and established at an efficient density of approximately 666 trees per hectare. The orchard features a sought-after mix of premium cherry varieties including Lapin, Staccato, and Sweetheart, providing a strong harvest window and market appeal.
The property is well equipped with a fully installed irrigation system, ensuring reliable water supply throughout the growing season. Water security is enhanced by an irrigation storage pond holding approximately 3.5 million litres, supported by a dedicated pump shed servicing the orchard infrastructure. Further enhancing production capability, the orchard includes one wind machine providing valuable frost protection during critical growing periods.
Beyond the productive orchard, the property offers the added benefit of a building platform, presenting an excellent opportunity to construct a home and enjoy the stunning Central Otago lifestyle while overseeing the operation.
The land comprises a mixture of Annan deep fine sandy loam, which is gleyed, and Waenga shallow sandy loam, also strongly gleyed, soils well recognised within the district's horticultural landscape. Combining proven production, quality infrastructure, water security, premium cherry varieties and an attractive building site, this property presents a rare opportunity to invest in a productive Central Otago orchard with both lifestyle and income potential.
