Substantial G3 and Hayward kiwifruit opportunity awaits

Rarely does the chance come along to own a lucrative kiwifruit business in such a central position, complete with executive residence and tight-knit community. Now you have the chance to own this profitable 20.33-hectare STS property, and reap financial and lifestyle rewards.

Everyone in the family is sure to love it here. Set on a commanding elevated site, the architecturally-designed home is detailed with vertical cedar, high ceilings and a familyfriendly floor plan with generously proportioned living areas.

At the heart of the home sits the light-filled, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, which spills effortlessly out to sun-drenched decking.

Featuring sleek modern design, the kitchen comes with all the mod cons the chef in the family will love, including a Smeg six-burner gas oven, oodles of storage space and handy adjoining scullery.

Sliding doors seamlessly blend the indoor and extensive Purple Heart decking. Facing north for optimum sun, it’s perfect for year-round family barbecues or enjoying a sundowner while revelling in the panoramic country views.

‘‘We built the house three years ago to be warm, bulletproof, and to make the most of the views. There’s plenty of room for our family with three kids,’’ says owner Scott Dingle.

‘‘It’s been a great lifestyle, with the primary school just up the road and plenty of space for the children to run and play. The house is great entertaining and we’ve had a lot of fun here. It’s a very central property, just 10 minutes to Mercer, 25 minutes to Te Kauwhata and 35 to 40 minutes to Hamilton.’’

Inside you’ll find a family bathroom and four generous bedrooms, the master with outdoor access and luxurious ensuite. A separate multipurpose room and large office further enhance your options here. Underfloor heating, double glazing and a heat pump keep things cosy year round.

Outdoors there is ample flat lawn for kids and pets to play, gullies and banks bursting with native plantings, birds and wildlife, and meandering paths to the orchard below.

A testament to the current owner’s hard work, the orchard consists of 5.49can/ha of fully covered G3 kiwifruit, 6.94can/ha of Hayward kiwifruit and 0.22can/ha of R19 kiwifruit currently supplying Budwood to Zespri.

Some blocks of both the G3 and Hayward achieved Kiwistart for the 2021 crop and there is potential for this to increase in the future. There is good water consent in place until 2033, and three-bay shedding with staffroom. The orchard is currently owner managed, and contractors in place are happy to continue for the new owners if they wish.

This private piece of paradise is situated in Pukekawa, home to a great decile 8 primary school, hall, golf club and many community groups.

The location is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts with the Waikato River offering a variety of watersports, hunting to be had in the nearby local forests, and only 30 minutes to Port Waikato for surfing, fishing and whitebaiting.

‘‘All establishment work has been done with good infrastructure, workability and ease of management in place,’’ says Peter Kelly, who is marketing the property with Snow Williams.

‘‘This is a special property which offers a diverse, desirable lifestyle and a successful business with potential for future growth. Call me today to make the most of this golden opportunity.’’
