368 Work Road, Aongatete, Western Bay Of Plenty

A river runs through rare large grazing block

This large grazing block of 99.0561 hectares (more or less) enhanced by a river and bush is rare to find in this orchard and lifestyle locale of the Bay of Plenty - with a pristine river rippling through it, pockets of bush dotted over it and a good mix of hillside and gently sloping paddocks. This beautiful block has been in one family over 50 years and was where the railway workers camped while building the tunnel through the Kaimai Ranges. The woolshed, tractor shed, and yards are at the roadside. There is track access around most of the farm and a new truck and trailer rated bridge over the river. The farm currently runs some 350 ewes and 90 cattle, a stock equation that could change with pasture conditions and desired farming focus, be it wool, meat, or dairy runoff.
"A good river is nature's work in song."
A special feature of this farm is the way the river, some two kilometres of it, about three quarters with genuine riparian rights, meanders through the property, changing character as it goes. Its wide swimming holes and rocky canyon have been a source of family fun over the years, the powered camp site a place of peace and retreat. From dramatic coastal views from the tops to sheltered vales and river vistas; there are several possible house sites depending on how long a drive you want! One of the prettiest and most accessible is on a sheltered plateau not far off the road.
The predominance of lifestyle blocks suggests scope for future development on this, one of the largest swathes of land in this area, not far off SH 2 between Tauranga and Katikati.
