Overview

Oakbourne No.2 Block

Located 35kms south-east of Waipukurau is this 440ha (STS) breeding and finishing property of predominantly flat to easy, rolling contour, held in five Titles. The strong rural community and township of Porangahau is within a 10minute drive and the beach settlement is just a few minutes further on. The area is well known for producing and finishing excellent, early stock with generally mild winters allowing good growth through that period too. A Romney ewe flock and Angus cow herd are farmed, along with replacements and all progeny is finished on farm. This property benefits from multiple natural water sources and excellent reticulated systems of troughs throughout the farm. There is also a system of laneways and satellite yards which assist in stock movement and management. Careful attention has been paid to the enhancement of wetlands and waterways, positively contributing to the Porangahau Water Catchment group and also adding to the aesthetic appeal of the property. Woodlots on the appropriate land class have been established, an area of native bush retired and planted, with some 10ha of pine forest being registered with the ETS. The property is very well subdivided with a mix of conventional and electric fencing. There is a large set of main sheep yards and a modern, three stand woolshed with covered night pens. There are also two main sets of cattle yards at either end of the property, ensuring ease of management and minimal movement. Other improvements include two haybarns, implement shed and workshop and various outbuildings. The main dwelling is a character, three bedroom home, plus office, on a sheltered, north facing, elevated site offering expansive views over the surrounding farmland. Adjacent to the home is a small studio and glass house. There is also a garage/storage shed located off the driveway, below the dwelling. This property represents an excellent opportunity for neighbours to increase their existing holdings, new entrants into farming, or those moving regions and seeking a standalone, genuine breeding and finishing farm located in a vibrant and welcoming coastal community.
