64ha Paradise in Whitianga - Avos, Large Home and Sheds - Whitianga
The potential this large property offers is HUGE. Start with expanding the existing Avocado blocks with the adjoining 20+ hectares which is simply perfect for avocados and just screaming out PLANT ME! This is premium north facing horticulture land with high-quality Waihi ash soil, well sheltered with high annual rainfall; this sets the scene for a really substantial sized avocado block and with fantastic views! The current orchard is home to 450 mature Hass on Zutano trees- which are 18 years old. There is plenty of shedding; including a 3-bay orchard shed which houses the orchard machinery including the 6m Hydralada which stays with the property. This pristinely presented rural block totals 64 hectares which is a mix of flat to gently rolling contour and only lightly farmed, carrying 100+ head of cattle. There is a central race system and the farm is sub-divided in to 40 paddocks with water reticulated to paddocks from the spring fed water dam. You can even go duck shooting on these dams! An intensive annual fertiliser programme is used for the orchard and the farm, fencing is perfect. This really is an immaculate block. Wetland and native bush areas have been established and there's 2 blocks of 14-year-old pines. Two sets of stock yards, weigh station, hay barns, machinery, avocado crop and an old cow shed now used as a workshop- all complete this easily managed farm and orchard. But don't forget the land isn't the only star here! The 335m2 brick home with 3 bedrooms, office, huge rumpus room, kitchen with walk in pantry and 2 lounge areas is a must see too. With loads of sunny outdoor areas, beautifully established grounds complete with ponds- there is something here for everyone in the family. Located only 20 minutes from Whitianga or the quaint white sands of Hahei, Cathedral Cove, Cooks or Hot Water Beach- and all the splendid the Coromandel has to offer; beaches, fishing, boutique shops, great restaurants, hunting, festivals, wineries?. You can leave the stress of city life behind- no traffic lights, no peak hour traffic, no city hustle and bustle - just you and your imaginings. In fact, with all the fishing to be done here, you just might not have time to work on the orchard this week! Open days: Saturday 10th, 17th, 24th November and 1st December from 12-2.00pm
