250 Ruanui Road, Taihape, Rangitikei

'Ohinepua' - a 143.7 hectare hidden gem

This well-located property borders the Hautapu River while a short road frontage hides a large basin of well-developed easy rolling hill country accessed via Pahekeheke Road.

Located 11 kilometres north-west of Taihape on Ruanui Road in the tightly held Mataroa district, the farm on both sides of the road, bounds the Hautapu River and Pahekeheke Stream.

Most of the easier contour has been cultivated for winter crops then re-grassed and is balanced by strong medium hill country with some steeper faces. The new grasses and a strong history of fertiliser enable Ohinepua to consistently finish all progeny, plus many bought in Friesian bulls.

The farm is serviced with a tidy four-stand woolshed and covered sheep yards, plus a well laid out cattle yard facility on Ruanui Road, with satellite sheep yards off Pahekeheke Road.
