Large scale Kiwifruit Orchard

This well-established 25.3ha (more or less) Export Kiwifruit orchard is located south of Auckland on the outskirts of Waiuku township. Willowbank Orchard was established by the Heard family, of Barley Sugar fame, in the 1980s - the site was chosen for its rich fertile soils and plentiful water supply.

With just over 16.6 canopy hectares of kiwifruit vines, comprising approximately 9.98ha (more or less) of Hayward Green, 5.2ha (more or less) of SunGold and 1.48 ha(more or less) of Sweet Green varieties. The kiwifruit orchard features a metalled pack-out & loading area, central access with herring bone avenues and a variety of outbuildings to hold machinery and for orchard management.

Water is supplied onsite from a 173m (more or less) deep water 6 bore (more or less) with a recently renewed consent for commercial water take providing the confidence of ongoing supply.

The dwelling is a large four-bedroom character weatherboard home with double garage that is nestled the heart of the orchard. The dwelling is occupied by long term tenants.

Large scale Kiwifruit orchards close to the Auckland city are tightly held due to their substantial earning capacity and Willowbank fits nicely within investment portfolios, for buyers looking to secure Export based income, in the Horticultural sector. The orchard is fully managed by Auckland Packhouse and Cool-store APAC which means that investors can continue on with a hands off approach if preferred.

Willowbanks location on the southern fringe of Waiuku offers a strategic land-banking location with good holding income as your investment matures. The orchard has become an integral part of the Waiuku community, with many generations of families having worked on, or purchased fruit from the orchard in the past.

This is an excellent opportunity to invest in a orchard that has scale. There is room for redevelopment or to re graft new varieties onto the well established root stock or continue to harvest as established.

Viewings by appointment welcome.

Size, Scale and Scenic

This dairy farm of scale and opportunity is a must see for buyers wanting to grow their dairy holding without getting out of Mooloo country. Why move to Canterbury if you want a farm with scale? 238ha (approx) of mixed contour fertile dairy land is on offer with scale that is only rarely available on the market in the Waikato!

Our vendors have milked up to 520 cows with the top production being in excess of 207,000 kgs/milksolids, while also carrying youngstock and some beefies to take care of the more challenging contour on parts of the farm. An estimated 200 effective hectares is milked on with a further 15 hectares running beef and/or youngstock. The balance is steeper and retired or in native bush. A nearby 90 ha lease block is currently being utilised for milking or grazing youngstock and beef also and is available by negotiation with the owners. A 40 aside HB dairy with inshed feeders, a feedpad and up to date effluent system mean that the infrastructure is adequate and fully functional to run a farm of this size. All races are well maintained and provide easy access to most paddocks and the water system has been upgraded with large supply lines to Manacons with troughs both gravity and pressure fed. Pockets of native bush make for a scenic and varied outlook with the long view out to Kawhia Harbour a sheer delight from many points on the farm.

Utilizing the advantages of the 'Halter' system has enabled our vendors to manage the property with minimal staff and keep on top of the maintenance and weed control. This system is transferable or may be discontinued at the buyers request.

Three houses provide plenty of accommodation options and extra shedding includes a workshop, implement and calf sheds and an older woolshed.
