Description
Deadline sale closing 2pm, Thu 27 Nov 2025 (unless sold prior)
This well-appointed 594.2 hectare (more or less) one man, sheep and beef unit is located approximately 15 kilometres from Raetihi, in the picturesque Ruatiti Valley.
Well laid-out with five satellite yards and a convenient laneway system connecting the woolshed to the back yards, this property is thoughtfully laid out for easy stock handling.
The main homestead, five stand woolshed with covered yards and stock handling facilities are located at the start of the property on Makakahi Road, these facilities are capable of handling the needs of this property, while the satellite yards ensure smaller jobs are easily dealt with.
There is a complimentary mix of contours, made up of 39 hectares of easy and flat country, 249 hectares of easier contours with the balance being 184 hectares of steeper hills and broken pasture, making up approximately 472 hectares of effective area, with the remaining 122 hectares being unproductive land (please note contour land areas are approximate only).
This property has great potential; multiple income streams can be derived from the vibrant tourism industry that Ruapehu and the Whanganui River present.
A modern, rustic, off grid cabin, located at the back of the property over looks Manganui o Te Ao River, a popular fishing destination for keen anglers. There is also a well assigned second home with five bedrooms and three bathrooms well positioned to cater for the ski season being approximately 41km from Turoa Ski field.
NB: Viewings will commence early November, more photos of the property to follow.
