Running a proven sheep, beef and cropping operation, the property offers approximately 756 hectares of effective land, with a diverse mix of productive flat to rolling country and some steeper hill country. This includes approximately 60 hectares of river flats adjoining the Hakataramea River and a further 70 hectares of paddocks alongside Padkins Stream, with approximately 600 hectares identified as Land Use Capability Class 3.

This is something consistently recognised by those familiar with the farm and is evident throughout the property.

The sheep operation has historically carried up to approximately 2,800 breeding ewes, 600 hoggets and 60 rams and killers, providing an indication of the scale and established nature of the farming system.

The farm improvements are a real feature, providing an extensive range of facilities to support the scale of the operation. These include multiple implement and hay sheds, grain storage, five 45-tonne silos, workshops and additional woolshed facilities.

A particular highlight is the substantial sheep-handling complex, featuring an approximately 298m2 internal shearing shed and approximately 782m² of covered yards.

Lifestyle, space and an income opportunity

Imagine coming home to your own private rural retreat, where space, comfort and wide-open views combine with the opportunity to enjoy a more self-sufficient way of life.

Set across 1.9025ha (more or less) of rural freehold land, this beautifully presented four-bedroom home offers all the ingredients for relaxed family living. The generous floor plan provides plenty of room to spread out, while a large wood burner with ducted heating to each bedroom keeps the home warm and welcoming through the cooler months.

Elevated to capture sweeping rural views and surrounded by landscaped gardens, this is a peaceful setting that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday.

Summer living is equally appealing. Spend long afternoons beside your own heated swimming pool, unwind in the spa, or simply enjoy the privacy and freedom that comes with having nearly two hectares to call your own. Solar energy adds another practical benefit, helping to reduce power costs while complementing the property's sustainable lifestyle credentials.

Adding another dimension is the established Awawhiti Cress hydroponic operation, offering purchasers the opportunity to combine an enviable country lifestyle with an existing income stream.

Occupying approximately 2,200sqm of tunnel houses, the business is an accredited grower and supplier of premium watercress, microgreens, puha and edible flowers across the Central North Island. It is also the only accredited grower and supplier of watercress seeds, providing security of supply along with an additional avenue for future income.

For those looking to continue the business, the property is offered as a turn-key opportunity with the necessary plant, equipment and transport in place. Loyal staff are keen to remain, offering valuable knowledge and continuity, while the vendors are committed to supporting the incoming owners through the transition. There is also potential to explore further expansion and increased production.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property remains conveniently connected, located less than 2km from State Highway 4 and approximately 16 minutes from Taumarunui.

More than simply a home and more than simply a business, this is an opportunity to create a lifestyle on your own terms. Space for the family, room to breathe, a pool and spa to enjoy, beautiful rural surroundings and a proven income opportunity right at your doorstep.
