The Houhora area is recognized as being the most consistent growing region in New Zealand for avocados. Lying north of the main growing district this 17.77ha property is within a proven growing area and offers a great buying opportunity for someone with ambition, vision, dedication and passion.
The property is laid out with good internal access ways, is well sheltered and fully irrigated. The opportunity for a new owner is to capitalize on the existing infrastructure and plantings and plan a total redevelopment within a structured timeframe. There is concentrated attention required to redevelop the property with new plantings and to improve production of the existing trees back to their high levels of earlier production. Currently there is approximately 9 hectares planted in trees of mixed age and health. Irrigation is pumped directly from a stream which runs through the property and there is easy access off the state highway. An implement shed provides storage and basic staff facilities.
The property location offers a friendly, relaxed environment, with coastal attractions forming an important part of leisure activities in the district. The east coast beaches of Henderson Bay and Rarawa are handy and there is nearby access to 90 Mile Beach on the west coast.
This orchard offers an excellent opportunity for entry into a flourishing industry, or a useful addition to an existing orchard operation. It would also be suitable for other early season crops such as blueberries, kiwifruit, passionfruit, tamarillos and feijoas which have all seen a sharp increase in consumer demand in New Zealand and overseas.
