The 10.11 ha title on Tukituki Road features a quality, contemporary owner’s residence in an especially lovely, mature setting, approached by an avenue of spectacular Liquid Amber trees. Constructed of rustic red brick the home has 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. There is a generous separate living room with open fireplace, a large dining living area, a further family area and office and a spacious well lit kitchen.

The home looks over a pony paddock with the remainder of the property established to apple trees and orchard infrastructure.

These are both very well established and maintained properties that have demonstrated excellent, reliable productivity over the years. They enjoy on fertile silt loam soils, tile drained for optimum tree health. The semi-coastal growing environment is ideal for reliable orchard production having a high sunshine and low spring frost and hail hazard factor. The Tukituki Road block is established to a range of good apple varieties including substantial 2 year old plantings of the new variety Jazz. Both blocks are fully irrigated.

This scenic and attractive coastal Tukituki Valley area has become a preferred area for lifestyle settlement, in part for its central location giving easy access to Havelock North, Hastings City and Napier City, but also for the many recreational opportunities including fishing on the nearby Tukituki River; one of New Zealand’s best year round trout fisheries and boating and sea fishing on the coast. As a consequence of lifestyle buyer demand this is an area having significant capital appreciation prospects.

The nearby and highly regarded Haumoana Primary school is an excellent choice for primary schooling. There is a school bus to Havelock North for intermediate and high school.

High quality well managed orchards of good economic size and with superior housing are not commonly available for sale, especially in such a desirable lifestyle area. The two orchards are offered as one combined operation. Inspection is highly recommended.
