Experience the perfect balance of rural serenity and commercial success. Located on the prestigious rural fringe of Papakura, this approx. 4.8 ha (approx. 12-acre) estate is more than just a home—it is a high-performing meat chicken operation with an established, transferable supply contract. After more than 15 years of successful ownership, the current owners are retiring, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established "going concern" with significant infrastructure investments and a highly attractive, low-overhead cost model.
The Residential Home

• Stay cozy year-round with two wood burners—one in the master bedroom and another in the living room.
• A modern kitchen opens onto extensive outdoor entertaining decking with beautiful rural views.
• Includes an internal double garage with a dedicated granny flat above—perfect for guests or extended family.
The Workshop
• A significant portion of the driveway has been recently updated with heavy-duty concrete panels, ensuring it remains in permanent, top-tier condition.
• Strategic Dual Access--The property features dual access points, providing superior logistical flow for heavy machinery, feed deliveries, and a separate entry for the residence.
• Separate 200sqm workshop at the property entrance offers ample room for machinery, "tools or toys".
