444 Wharekawa Road, Rawene, Far North, Northland

This attractive farming property offers a good combination of size, productivity and lifestyle. Set on approximately 141 hectares, the land comprises approx 63 hectares of marine flats, approx 50 hectares of rolling contour, and approx 28 hectares of medium to steep country, providing a diverse mix for grazing and finishing. The farm is well subdivided into over 60 paddocks, each with water supplied, and most serviced by central racing. Water for stock is supplied by spring fed dams, supplemented by the Rawene town supply water, ensuring reliability year-round. Its own quarry is a bonus feature.

Infrastructure includes a good set of cattle yards complete with a loadout ramp, A five-penned pig stye, an old woolshed, a half round barn and two implement sheds. Historically, the property has successfully run 135 breeding cows, along with 65 rising two-year heifers and 65 rising one-year heifers, all finished to good weights.

Accommodation is well catered for with a three bedroom home, one 2 bedroom cottage, plus a smaller dwelling offering renovation potential. The main residence and cottage are set in very warm and sheltered established gardens, creating a peaceful retreat after a day on the land. This is a genuine opportunity for farmers looking for a property with a bit of X factor.

Conveniently located between the tourist hub of Opononi and the Hokianga harbour mouth, and the quaint township of Rawene with its harbour ferry and area hospital. Being in the Hokianga means public medical services are free to all the locals. For more extensive shopping requirements, Kaikohe is approx 38kms away and Kerikeri is approx 70kms, so easily accessible.

The present owners are sorry to leave but health reasons dictate a high motivation level for a change of lifestyle and a definite win to the new owner.

It’s a well balanced property and well worth viewing!
