Rankleburn Road, Gore, Southland

This listing references the location of the ‘Ballantrae Forest’, however this is one of nine forests spread across the Southland and Otago regions for sale, known as Deep South Afforestation. Offering prospective purchasers institutional scale, a significant carbon sequestration profile and future woodflow in well-regarded and proven forestry regions.

The forests have been established in predominantly Radiata pine with minor plantings of Douglas fir between 2019 and 2024. Complementing the forests' impressive commercial attributes are stands of regenerating and old-growth indigenous vegetation, along with several wetland areas.

With professional forest managers from the outset, the landholdings were selected for their production forestry attributes including suitable contour, LUC classification, soil types, proximity to public arterial roads, wood processors, and export ports. The forests are expected to benefit from the region’s favourable climate and low operating costs, together with the ability to protect and enhance biodiversity with areas of mature and regenerating indigenous forest and riparian setbacks.

Deep South Afforestation is being offered for sale by Negotiation.
