The remainder of the land is certified organic for over 35 years and offers income potential with hazelnut orchards and productive tree blocks. The estate includes a Food Safety-approved hazelnut cracking and processing container and open paddocks suited for various livestock.

Native plantings create a 0.68ha Significant Natural Area featuring restored indigenous bush, wetlands, and two ponds, providing a tranquil sanctuary where the sounds of birds replace city noise.

Elevated spots capture stunning views of Mount Peel and surrounding peaks, changing beautifully with the seasons.

With two titles, valuable Te Moana water allocation (5.4 units), rainwater collection, and multiple building platforms, the property presents options ranging from additional accommodation or multi-generational living to expanded horticulture or land banking.
