Location With Options

One of Te Puke's best and seldom available is a 147 hectare farm offering its new owner options for dairy support, beef finishing or possibly dairy conversion. This picturesque property has been well farmed by the current owners for the last 16 years and enjoys outstanding rural and sea views over the wider Bay of Plenty. With approximately 125 hectare of effective land and the balance in bush the contour will make farming easy with the majority of that described as flat, all in this good rainfall area.

Paddocks are well fenced with post and batten and three wire electric, all paddocks have access to an electric wire to make break fencing easy. The four bedroom homestead is positioned nicely at the front of the property and is conveniently located to the ample shedding, all weather stockyards and woolshed. Three well located haybarns around the farm provide practical storage options.

From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community.\nKey economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately kiwifruit and avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.\nTauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city; it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Bay of Plenty is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.\nThis farm is centrally located to Tauranga (40km), Rotorua and the rural service centre of Te Puke around 10km.\nToday, Te Puke is a thriving town with a reasonably large main shopping street, Jellicoe Street. There are a number of schools, religious organizations, cultural groups, and a variety of clubs in the town.\nHorticulture is the backbone of the Te Pukes economy. The warm, moist climate and fertile soils are favorable for horticulture, with production of kiwifruit, avocados and citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges. The town markets itself as the Kiwifruit Capital of the World. A large number of residents work picking or packing kiwifruit during April or May, as well as others coming from other nearby towns and cities. It can swell past 10,000 some seasons. The recently opened Eastern Link will further benefit the town by removing heavy traffic and encouraging shoppers. Dairy and dry stock farming remain important industries it the ever changing landscape that is Te Puke.
