A rare opportunity to secure 15.4555 hectares (more or less) of premium Maungatapere land, combining a quality commercial avocado orchard, productive grazing land, excellent water security, and an outstanding future house site.
Positioned just minutes from Maungatapere Village and within easy reach of Whangarei, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of convenience and rural tranquillity. Elevated and north-facing, the property enjoys expansive countryside views and spectacular sunsets, with approximately three hectares of grazing land providing an ideal platform for a future home. This is far more than a standard avocado orchard. Thoughtfully designed as a fully ground-based operation, the orchard has been established to maximise efficiency and minimise running costs, with no hydralada equipment required for harvesting or pruning. Approximately 3,000 mixed-age avocado trees are intensively planted across 14 blocks on fertile volcanic soils, protected by well-established shelter belts designed to create an optimal growing environment. This truly is one of the best orchards I have been involved with, and that is a real credit to the owners.
Blocks 1 to 10 are just over five years old, while Blocks 11 to 14 are approaching three years of age. The orchard is maintained under a comprehensive fertiliser programme and benefits from a fully automated irrigation system, supplied through gravity- and pressure-fed networks with electronic controls. Water security is a standout feature. The property includes a consented bore supplying four 30,000-litre storage tanks situated on the hill, together with an easement granting access to a neighbouring freshwater spring that feeds an additional 25,000-litre tank, primarily used for spraying. Adding further appeal is an established brown rock quarry, available for on-farm use and helping to reduce ongoing operational costs.
Whether you are an established grower seeking to expand, an investor looking for a modern horticultural asset, or a lifestyle buyer wanting to create a dream home in a stunning rural setting, this property offers an exceptional combination of location, fertile soils, water security, infrastructure, and future potential that is increasingly difficult to find. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available, combining productive horticulture, lifestyle appeal, and long-term potential in one of Northland's most sought-after rural locations.
Plant and machinery available for purchase separately. Purchase price is plus GST (if any).
