5679 State Highway 1, Mangaweka, Rangitikei

First farmers - breeding, honey, carbon potential

Handy location on State Highway 1, only six kilometres south of Mangaweka and 20 kilometres north of Hunterville.

Mainly hill country with approximately 4.5ha of flat land at the front of the farm. Historically wintering 520 breeding ewes and 30 r1yr cattle.

Currently earning substantial income from Mānuka honey, there may be the potential to register in the ETS and claim carbon credits from the large area of regenerating Mānuka.

Improvements include a tidy wool-shed and covered yard, plus satellite sheep yards and access to shared cattle yards.

This well set up little farm offers a great opportunity for first time farmers to get their start.
