Avocados, acreage and opportunity

Set across approximately 5.06 hectares, this established horticultural property brings together productive orchard land, generous family living and substantial infrastructure in an elevated rural setting.

At its heart is a mature avocado orchard, established across a mix of moderate and gently sloping contour. Already well established and productive, it provides a sound foundation for those looking to step into an existing horticultural operation, while leaving scope to consider how the land may evolve over time.

The solid brick home, built in the early 1980s, provides generous and adaptable accommodation across two levels with flexible dual living spaces offering separation between the upper and lower levels. Upstairs, a renovated kitchen connects with open-plan dining and living, where timber cathedral ceilings, a wood fire and north-facing deck create a warm and inviting hub for everyday living and entertaining. Two bedrooms, a versatile family room or office, bathroom and separate toilet complete this level.

Downstairs adds another layer of flexibility, with a third bedroom, an office or potential fourth bedroom, second living area with kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. This level lends itself well to extended family, guests or those wanting dedicated space for work, hobbies or relaxation. A double garage with twin roller doors adds further practicality. Comfortable and functional as it stands, the home also provides scope for a new owner to modernise and add their own touch over time.

Adding to the property's functionality are two separate vehicle entrances. One provides dedicated access to the home, while the other leads directly to the orchard loadout area and substantial multi-bay lock-up shedding. This separation between the residential and horticultural areas is particularly well suited to an operating orchard and adds a practical dimension for those with machinery, equipment or storage requirements.

The property also features an appealing potential site for a minor dwelling, providing another avenue for buyers to explore, subject to council approval and their own due diligence.

The setting offers a balance of rural surroundings and everyday convenience, positioned between Katikati and Bethlehem, with Omokoroa also within easy reach. The property is zoned for Pahoia School, with the Katikati College bus route nearby.

For those considering a change in direction, there may also be scope to investigate alternative horticultural uses, including potential kiwifruit conversion, subject to suitability, approvals and due diligence.

Bringing together established production, flexible dual living accommodation, useful infrastructure and a convenient rural location, this is a property with plenty to explore.
