313 Tara Hill Road, Waimate

Located just five minutes from State Highway 3 via Santoft Road, this 188.97-hectare property offers a versatile mix of soil types and multiple income streams. Pukepuke and Himatangi sands provide a balance of free-draining country ideal for winter grazing and heavier sands that perform through summer. Strategically planted forestry blocks generate immediate carbon income with medium-term timber returns. Currently used as a finishing and support block, the property has the scale and infrastructure to operate as a stand-alone unit or complement an existing farming business. The predominantly flat contour includes over 70 hectares of mowable land, 20 hectares of easy grazable dune, approximately 80 hectares of pine forest managed by a reputable local forestry company, and around 10 hectares of ineffective land. Pastures are supported by an ongoing renewal programme and a strong fertiliser history, with proven cropping of maize silage, kale, oats and lucerne. Improvements include cattle yards and shedding. Stock water is supplied from a quality bore, reticulated throughout with reliable trough coverage, and the farm is well subdivided with formed laneways. Additional recreational opportunities include waterfowl and upland game hunting.

By Negotiation

This ideal bareland property is located just 6 km north of Pahiatua, near Mangatainoka, and offers a range of valuable improvements. These include cattle yards, a reticulated water system, and a practical three-bay implement shed. The land compromises a well-balanced contour, with approximately 50% of the effective area suitable for mowing. The remainder consists of easy to medium hill country, along with a 5 ha sidling planted in 10 year old pines which have had some silviculture. Currently utilised as a dairy support unit, the property is well suited to a wide range of farming practices.
