Ruakaka

Located in the warm and sheltered Makakahi Valley, just 20km from Raetihi, Ruakaka offers an appealing hill country farming opportunity with scale, productivity, and lifestyle appeal.

Comprising 697 hectares, with approximately 348 hectares of effective grazing, the property features clean medium-to-steep hill country complemented by attractive areas of mature native bush. The farm is well suited to breeding operations and is currently running around 1,750 MA ewes, 440 ewe hoggets, and 75 cows plus replacements. A well-established network of farm tracks ensures practical access throughout the property.

A notable feature of the property is that 89 hecatres are currently entered into the ETS scheme, presenting potential future opportunities for carbon income.

Accommodation includes a circa 1940 three-bedroom homestead set on an elevated site among mature specimen trees, along with a second three-bedroom cottage providing additional flexibility for family or staff.

For those who appreciate the recreational side of rural life and who are looking for a farm with good lifestyle balance, there is a hunting hut on the property which offers excellent deer stalking opportunities, great fishing nearby in the Manganui-o-te-Ao River along with all the other amazing outdoor activities the Ruapehu region has to offer with skiing, tramping and cycling all within easy reach.

Ruakaka presents a compelling combination of scale, productive farming country, and lifestyle appeal in a well-regarded valley.
