1614 State Highway 14, Maungatapere - Rae Ocean & Sandie Kirkman

Описание: Some properties don't just offer a house, they offer a way of life. This is one of those opportunities where lifestyle and income sit comfortably side by side.

Set across 7.796 hectares of productive Maungatapere land, the home is well positioned within established landscaped grounds, offering privacy, sunshine and a real sense of arrival. At approx. 250 square metres, the brick and tile executive home is generous and well thought out, with three double bedrooms, two offices, two bathrooms and internal access double garaging. The owners speak fondly of more than 20 years of memories, raising families here, hosting big gatherings and watching children grow up with space to roam. Over time, the home has been carefully upgraded and modernised, including a designer kitchen with stone bench top and matching laundry room, tiled bathroom and ensuite. It is turn-key and ready to enjoy, whether you choose to live here yourself or rent it out as part of the income stream.

Beyond the home is where the property really earns its keep. This is a well-established, productive kiwifruit operation with excellent infrastructure and proven performance. The orchard features 2.28 hectares of Gold G3 kiwifruit and 0.96 hectares of Hayward green kiwifruit, supported by free-draining volcanic soils, established shelter and reliable irrigation from the Maungatapere Water Scheme. Production history over the past six years shows Gold kiwifruit averaging around 12,500 trays per canopy hectare, achieving approximately 15,000 trays per hectare during the 2025 harvest, with Hayward green producing around 10,000 trays per hectare equivalent. There is also additional income from approximately 95 avocado trees supplying the local market. If preferred, these can be removed to open up around 0.8 hectares of usable land, ideal for grazing horses, creating paddocks or expanding kiwifruit production.

Infrastructure is well covered, with a three-bay lock-up implement shed, a four-bay implement shed with two-bay lean-to, a lunchroom portacom, plastic-roofed shelter shed and a load-out bay, making day-to-day operations efficient and practical.

What truly sets this property apart is the flexibility it offers. There are two clear pathways forward. For those seeking a hands-off investment, the orchard can be fully managed by a local kiwifruit management company, allowing you to enjoy the returns without the day to day involvement. Alternatively, this is an ideal home-and-income opportunity. Live in the exceptional family home, learn the business at your own pace and gradually take on more responsibility as your confidence grows. The current owners had no kiwifruit experience when they purchased and are available to assist with a smooth transfer of knowledge, or you can continue with professional management and do as little or as much as you choose.

This is a full going concern sale, including this year's crop, meaning income is generated from day one. The property file, including chattels list and production history, is available on request. With retiring vendors and genuine motivation to sell, this is a rare chance to secure a proven horticultural asset paired with a quality family lifestyle.
