The 12ha avocado orchard provides a solid platform to fuel further orchard expansion across the remaining vacant land or continue with the current balance of grazing and orcharding.
The native bush is a stunning feature, with a somewhat “romance effect” as you drive through. This could certainly lend itself to a sideline business with the words “luxury” and “exclusive” thrown in the mix.
Whether you would like to be right at the coal face or prefer the “hands off” approach you can call on the services of local orchard contractors and advisors which work in the area making the transition into orcharding just that little bit easier.
The icing on the cake that separates this property from the rest is the architecturally designed 400sqm open plan home with its landscaped gardens and stunning rural views. This will be a home the family will love for years to come, not to mention being an absolute dream to entertain friends and family.
The established Avocado orchard is split into 10 well sheltered blocks, consisting of approximately 1,556 trees at 8m x 8m spacings. With some blocks hitting a record 46 tonne/ha, the orchard is well and truly hitting its strides and this will no doubt continue well into the future with continued good management. The vendors have invested significant capital in the early years to get the orchard performing to the level it is today. Supporting orchard infrastructure consists of a large loadout bay, four-bay Totalspan implement shed with triple roller door access, modern self-contained unit, spray filling station, and excellent internal roading.
It’s a great time to be apart of a thriving primary industry in New Zealand, especially with the Avocado industry currently experiencing massive growth in demand at both domestic and export market levels. The New Zealand Avocado Industry also provides a supportive platform to help new and existing growers achieve the best from their orcharding operations.

The contour throughout the orchard and farm is flat to gentle sloping with volcanic soil types. The volcanic soils are quite versatile which offer options into other high value crops for diversification including protected cropping under tunnel houses. The ORCHARDIST : FEBRUARY 2021 73
