Hill country scale in Matawai, Gisborne

Offered to the market by Tender, Matawai Station represents a compelling opportunity to secure a large-scale sheep and beef breeding unit in the tightly held Matawai Region.

Spanning 795 hectares of well-watered, quality hill country, Matawai Station has a carrying capacity of upwards of 7,000 stock units across clean, effective pasture. The property presents as an excellent grazing platform, benefitting from reliable natural water, a healthy, favourable farming climate and strong animal health performance.

Located within the highly regarded farming community of Matawai, the property enjoys the advantages of a supportive rural network, excellent local schooling, and a strong sense of community — factors that underpin both operational success and lifestyle appeal.

Pockets of native bush enhance the landscape, while the boundary with the picturesque Waikohu River provides natural beauty and recreational opportunities, adding further dimension to this productive farming asset.

Infrastructure is well established and thoughtfully positioned. A well-sited elevated homestead commands expansive views across the valley and is complemented by a three-bedroom cottage. Operational improvements include a five-stand raised board woolshed, quality yards, and a network of satellite yards supporting efficient stock management across the property.

Matawai Station offers genuine scope and scale, underpinned by a proven farming climate and strong Gisborne hill country performance. Properties of this calibre, within this location, are seldom presented to the market.

For sale by way of Tender unless sold prior.
