Located on Northland's east coast and only 20 minutes to the Whangaroa Harbour for fishing and diving, with the main service centre of Kerikeri only 23 minutes drive time to the south.
An ex-dairy unit, the farm boasts excellent, well formed races to most of its 37 plus paddocks. Fencing is a mix of traditional post and batten and two to three wire electric.
Predominantly free draining soils for easy wintering and it is warm and north-facing. The contour is mostly easy rolling with 15% steeper hill.
Currently conservatively running 230 14/16 month old cattle and also winters 80 plus dairy cows. The farm lies in a renowned rainfall belt that averages around 2,200mm per annum and is regarded as fairly summer safe.
The old cowshed has been converted to cattle yards with a near-new six bay shed close by and a modest three bedroom Keith Hay home set in an elevated position.
The farm rises gradually from the stony Waiare river at the front to a large volcanic basalt bluff at the back that picks up spectacular views over the whole valley.
Pockets of mature, native bush and Manuka add to the aesthetics and also provide good returns for Manuka honey as well as ample hunting for pigs and other wildlife, providing a lifestyle component.
Genuinely for sale, by negotiation.
