36 Eden Road, Pukekohe, Franklin

A SunGold investment

Just minutes from Pukekohe, this beautifully established 4.2‑hectare (mol) SunGold orchard offers a rare blend of proven production, peaceful living, and long‑term potential. With 2.43 canopy hectares of mature Zespri SunGold (G3) vines thriving in the region's highly productive horticultural soils, the orchard has a strong performance history, averaging around 13,000 export trays per canopy hectare.

The orchard is currently operated under a profit‑share lease with Punchbowl, with three years remaining on the agreement. As the owner prepares for her retirement, the income from the current crop will remain with her, allowing for a gentle and respectful transition before the next custodian takes over.

An architectural four‑bedroom family home sits quietly within a mature garden, offering warmth, privacy, and a sense of calm. The property has been lovingly developed from a bare block by the owner and her late husband. The decision to sell comes from her desire to step back from orchard life and move into a new chapter, with the same care and thoughtfulness that shaped the land.

With Zespri's forward forecasts remaining very positive, this orchard presents a compelling opportunity for growers, investors, or lifestyle buyers seeking a high‑performing SunGold holding with strong future promise and a story rooted in dedication, stewardship, and heart.
