36 Eden Road, Pukekohe, Franklin, Auckland

Just minutes from Pukekohe, this beautifully established 4.2-hectare (mol) SunGold orchard offers a rare blend of proven production, peaceful living, and long-term potential. With 2.43 canopy hectares of mature Zespri SunGold (G3) vines thriving in the region’s highly productive horticultural soils, the orchard has a strong performance history, averaging around 13,000 export trays per canopy hectare.

The orchard is currently operated under a profit-share lease with Punchbowl. As the owner prepares for her retirement, allowing for a gentle and respectful transition before the next custodian takes over.

An architectural four-bedroom family home sits quietly within a mature garden, offering warmth, privacy, and a sense of calm. The property has been lovingly developed from a bare block by the owner and her late husband. The decision to sell comes from her desire to step back from orchard life and move into a new chapter, with the same care and thoughtfulness that shaped the land.

With Zespri’s forward forecasts remaining very positive, this orchard presents a compelling opportunity for growers, investors, or lifestyle buyers seeking a high-performing SunGold holding with strong future promise and a story rooted in dedication, stewardship, and heart.
