On the market for the first time in 25 years, this 4.48ha property on Kerikeri Road has proven to be a consistently productive orchard.
The property includes approximately 4 canopy hectares of mature satsuma mandarin trees, divided into five blocks and protected by natural shelter belts. It is fully irrigated via the Kerikeri Irrigation Scheme. Access is via a right of way that leads to a large permeable yard suitable for truck movement and loading.
A 78sqm three-bay shed sits at the end of this area, with two open bays and one semi-enclosed bay featuring a concrete floor, kitchenette, toilet, and shower facilities for staff. Behind the shed is a 30sqm transportable dwelling with three rooms, including one with an ensuite. Power and septic systems are fully consented, and water is supplied via a standalone tank.
Average production over recent years has been around 132 tonnes. The orchard is currently managed under a contracted model. A hands-on owner-operator may be able to further influence operating costs.
The current crop has set, with thinning due to begin shortly. A purchaser who completes an agreement prior to harvest will acquire the property exclusive of the upcoming crop.
The vendor invites enquiries over $850,000 + GST (if any).
