1246 Erua Road, Raurimu, Ruapehu, Manawatu / Whanganui

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a large parcel of land in New Zealand’s central plateau. Erua Station was traditionally operated as a breeding and finishing deer farm and now offers diverse income streams from beekeeping, hunting, and potential carbon farming and tourism. Comprising approximately 802 hectares, the property features large areas of mature native forest, regenerating bush, and 167 hectares (more or less) of production land planted in Manuka under a long-term lease. Attractive lease terms provide solid income, with the opportunity to register the property in the ETS and further profit from carbon returns.   Nestled in a private site against a native forest backdrop, the comfortable three-bedroom log cabin captures stunning views across the station to Mt Ruapehu. Recently renovated, the home offers an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area that opens to a large outdoor entertaining deck. With three bedrooms and a modern bathroom, this cosy home suits a variety of purposes. A three-bay implement shed and workshop are located behind the house. Although no longer in operation, the property includes a full complement of farm infrastructure, including a deer shed and handling yards, extensive deer fencing, some loading yards, and a cabin/office at the property’s entrance. The property is well-served by an extensive track system for easy access.   A key feature of Erua Station is its location, bordered by the Retaruke River along the northern boundary, with Erua Forest Park to the east. The station offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, tramping, trekking, mountain biking, and proximity to the North Island's ski fields.   Astute purchasers also have the option to acquire the adjoining Erua Lodge and Trophy Hunting Block (436ha), which is being marketed by the same vendors. This is an exceptional opportunity for anyone who loves the beauty of New Zealand’s outdoors while benefiting from a solid income.
