With clear motivation to achieve a sale, the vendors are offering this well-established 84.9 hectare rural holding to the market, presenting genuine value and an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking scale, infrastructure, and versatility in a popular Bay of Plenty location. Positioned between Whakatane and Opotiki at 2338 State Highway 2, the property is a former seasonal supply dairy farm that still offers some of the core infrastructure to benefit dairy support, beef finishing, calf rearing, or a range of alternative farming and lifestyle uses. Its proximity to Whakatane (26km), Opotiki (20km), and Ohope Beach (17km) delivers both operational convenience and lifestyle appeal. The land benefits from a predominantly north-westerly aspect and natural shelter from surrounding hill country. Contour is well balanced, comprising approximately 25 hectares of fertile river flats, 35 hectares of easy rolling hill, 11 hectares of steeper grazing, and 14 hectares of mature native bush. Soil types align with contour, with productive sandy loam and river silt flats complemented by volcanic ash hill soils. Subdivision reflects its dairy heritage, with around 45 paddocks serviced by an all-weather race and laneway network. Fencing is predominantly multi-wire electric internally, with post and batten boundaries. The Nukuhou River runs through the property and is crossed by a concrete-deck bridge, ensuring reliable year-round access. Water is supplied via a bore, with both low and high-pressure reticulation in place. Infrastructure includes a 22-aside dairy shed with intact plant and a 9,100-litre vat (ideal for support or rearing operations), cattle yards with raised drench race and load-out ramp, a multi-bay half-round barn, large implement/hay shed, and the remains of an older dairy shed for storage or utility use. A four bedroom brick home of approximately 110sqm sits within well-maintained grounds with established trees and a gravel driveway, providing an option for on-farm accommodation. With the vendors motivation is at an all-time high and they are ready to meet the market, this is a practical, well-located and realistically positioned property that offers immediate utility and long-term flexibility. Opportunities of this scale and infrastructure are increasingly difficult to secure. Price is + GST if any (may be zero rated).
