Bay of Plenty Property

Location Top of No 3 Road, 15 minutes outside Te Puke township Property Hayward Kiwifruit orchard with 6.31ca ha mature fruit Dwelling 96m2 three-bedroom house with separate double garage. Land 10.5860 hectares including orchard, scope to increase planted area This 10.5860 ha property supports 6.31 ca ha of mature Hayward kiwifruit with a solid production history; and there is scope to increase orchard size by utilising unplanted land. The land not in orchard is grazed, paddocks dotted in other fruits and nuts including eight established avocado trees right beside one orchard block with the obvious opportunity to diversify by planting the lucrative gold variety. The Hayward has punched to or above its weight over the years. The orchard performance report for 2017 by EastPack (which is available from Bayleys) shows a dramatic jump in orchard yield in 2015 and holding steady since. The three large blocks of vines are efficiently sheltered, well maintained; 3.3 ca ha on agbeam pergola. The seldom used frost fan provides peace of mind; irrigation is from bore water. The orchard has a large load out area and a three-bay barn style implement shed with lean to. The property is bordered by attractive established trees which also enhance the grounds of the tidy three-bedroom home on a rise for views to bush clad hills. This is both a solidly productive kiwifruit orchard and a very appealing tract of land with its variety of other trees and outlook over the very gently sloping rows of vines to surrounding farmland and bush. The property is bordered by other kiwifruit orchards and backed by grazing land on the higher reaches. Te Puke township is 15 minutes down the road and there is easy access to the coast and other main centres.
