Firewood and sawmill business with a house

Location: Carterton, Wellington
Very well equipped and positioned firewood and timber business for sale.

Land, house, sheds, yard, machinery, stock and customer base included. Or a combination of the above, with or without the property.

The property is 2km east of Carterton with sweeping views. Very central to supply Wairarapa and Wellington. The house is a modern, well-appointed 4-bed 2-bath home on 3.59ha with a 162m2 4-bay workshop. The paddocks are well fenced with stock yards, woolshed. The business is run from a 6500sqm yard including 500sqm of concrete slab and sheds.

The firewood processor is the best there is, a Posch SpaltFix 650. It is very cheap, easy and safe to produce a lot of quality firewood. We don’t touch the firewood by hand. It is all controlled by one operator with a joystick. The process:
• The log deck on the processor can take 72ton or two logging truck and trailer loads of logs.
• The logs are moved and cut into rings that roll into the automatic wood splitter.
• Split wood then travels by conveyor to the cleaner.
• Another conveyor with hydraulic wheels and height adjustment makes it easy to direct where the wood is going. Onto the truck or into various species stacks. With appropriate logs we average 30m3 per hour from logs to split wood with one person.

Optional assets included:
Two 6m3 car licence delivery tip trucks
Logging truck and trailer
12ton excavator. 2500hr
49ton felling machine. 2500hr
Merlo telehandler 7.2ton lift 5800hr
150kva generator
A base of great repeat customers

There is plenty of room to grow if desired or it could be simplified and run with one person. You could buy logs in or fell them yourself.

We are flexible about which machines are included or not. We would also sell the machines without the property. Stock levels and take over date negotiable. The firewood processor is easily transportable anywhere in the country if you want to locate it somewhere else. There is also sawmilling equipment available; a sawmill, band resaw and 4 sider planner moulder.
