A timeless estate with a story to carry forward

This 47.0022 hectare (more or less) property on Matchitt Road, Ōpōtiki, sits within a predominantly farming and horticultural district and offers a well established, highly functional rural holding. The land is flat in contour and thoughtfully laid out, featuring established races, good fencing, and effective drainage. The pasture is of strong quality, supported by a consistent fertiliser programme, and the property is currently leased to a neighbouring dairy operation.

The holding comprises two titles positioned on either side of Matchitt Road, providing flexibility for future subdivision into two smaller blocks if desired.

At the entrance of the property stands the original homestead. Believed to date back to circa 1879, the homestead is constructed from native timbers including kauri and rimu. The home includes three bedrooms, a kitchen and dining area, and a bathroom, all showcasing original wooden panelling, high stud ceilings, the home was re roofing and re-wired in 2019.

Additional improvements on the property are two additional dwellings, now derelict, both offer scope for restoration or redevelopment.
The property represents a rare opportunity to secure a property that blends productive farmland, development potential, and a homestead rich in heritage, offering not only a place to live, but a legacy of historical and cultural importance.
