If a change in scenery and career is high up on your priority list. Perhaps the lifestyle of being an Avocado grower a stone's throw from Tauranga and being your own boss would suit? Work your own part time hours to suit and yet have a regular income. Containing 5.17ha (more or less) in total land area and approximately 2ha planted, this block is relatively straight forward to run as an owner/operator or under management as a passive investment. Over recent years the current owner has streamlined the entire operation making everything from spraying, irrigation, pruning, fertilising and harvesting, simple, easier and faster to carry out. Apart from harvesting, all other orchard activities can be handled by one person for most of the year averaging 1-2 days per week, leaving time for the multitude of leisure activities available in the stunning Bay of Plenty and beyond.
The orchard at a glance:
- Approximately 200 mixed age trees
- Volcanic Loam soils and temperate climate
- Recent production increased and remains steady with an estimated 100 bins for the coming season after a heavy prune.
- Recent export pack-out percentage exceeding 87%
- Maturity and clearance for local and export picking in Aug/Sep last year.
- With revitalisation work and tree height addressed by the vendor, production is now starting to increase
- There is a small amount of room for the possibility of further plantings.
- A comfortable and warm four-bedroom home sits on an elevated site and overlooks the orchard and pond. A good size outdoor decking area is great for entertaining.
- A well appointed home orchard with several varieties of fruit and nut trees around the property.
Open Days, Sunday 11am - 12pm
