Exceptional Lifestyle Holding with Dual Dwellings and Horticultural Potential

Located in the highly regarded Whakamarama district, this expansive 12.42-hectare (more or less) property presents a compelling opportunity to secure a substantial lifestyle holding with multiple income streams and genuine horticultural upside.

The land is well configured and thoughtfully utilised across three distinct areas. Approximately 2.5 hectares of former horticultural land, previously planted in avocados and tamarillos, has been returned to bare land and remains irrigated. This area offers excellent scope for reinstatement into productive use, with potential to expand horticultural development to circa 4 hectares for kiwifruit (subject to due diligence and verification).

In addition, around 7 hectares of mixed contour grazing land—ranging from moderate to steeper terrain—currently supports approximately 30 head of stock, providing flexibility for grazing, supplementing income, or lifestyle farming pursuits. The balance of the property accommodates the residential dwellings and supporting infrastructure.

Water security is a key strength of the property, with a reliable bore supplying both dwellings, complemented by multiple water tanks servicing household requirements and stock troughs. This well-established system provides confidence for both residential and productive land use.

A standout feature is the presence of two dwellings, offering excellent flexibility for extended family living, rental income, or home-and-income arrangements. The first is a beautifully refurbished, self-contained cottage, currently tenanted and producing consistent rental income. The main residence is a charming four-bedroom Californian bungalow-style home, partially renovated and rich in character, offering a solid foundation for further enhancement to suit the new owner's vision.

Further adding to the versatility of the property is a separate building currently operating as a cattery, with resource consent in place for cat accommodation only. The facility is well maintained, includes established infrastructure, and presents an opportunity to continue the existing business or explore alternative uses (subject to council approvals). Financial information is available to genuine purchasers.

Positioned at an elevation of under 140 metres above sea level, the property enjoys favourable growing conditions, privacy, and a peaceful rural outlook, while remaining conveniently close to local amenities.

This outstanding lifestyle property will appeal to buyers seeking space, flexibility, income potential, and the opportunity to develop a productive horticultural or lifestyle venture. It represents an exciting offering, and I would welcome the opportunity to market this property on your behalf.
