Western Bay of Plenty, Katikati 229 Walford Road

Premium Horticulture and Grazing Opportunity in Aongatete

In the sought-after Aongatete district, just 10 minutes from Katikati, this versatile property offers an increasingly rare blend of productive horticulture, reliable grazing income, and exceptional lifestyle potential. Covering approximately 48 hectares of mixed rolling contour and fertile river flats, with the sandy Whakatao River forming a natural boundary, the property presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking scale, diversity, and freedom in one outstanding rural holding. Whether your focus is income, lifestyle, or a combination of both, there is ample space here to create a dream home and enjoy the full rewards of country living.

The horticultural component delivers the property's core earning power. There is approximately 1.18 canopy hectare planted in G3 kiwifruit, with a further 1.52 canopy hectares (approx.) in Hayward, all under cover to support consistent growing conditions. A combination of Ag-Beam and timber support structures provides a well-established orchard platform, positioned at an altitude of approximately 20 to 25 metres above sea level. Complementing this is around 7.5 hectares of mature Hass avocados on Zutano rootstock, spread across three blocks. This is an early-maturing orchard, with fruit typically harvested in June and July, offering attractive timing within the season.

Formerly operated as a dairy unit, the property now supports the grazing of approximately 75 replacement dairy heifers across around 35 hectares. The land is predominantly rolling, with the added benefit of flat river-boundary grazing that enhances usability and flexibility for stock management.

Supporting the productivity of the block is strong practical infrastructure. Water supply is underpinned by an approximately 750,000-litre lined dam pond feeding multiple tanks around the property. Additional improvements include a large implement shed, a dedicated load-out area to streamline harvest operations, and a well-equipped set of cattle yards, all contributing to the property's efficiency and day-to-day functionality.

Properties of this scale and versatility are increasingly difficult to secure in the Katikati area. With income generated across multiple streams and the flexibility to balance horticulture, grazing, and lifestyle aspirations, this is a standout opportunity for serious growers, farmers, and rural investors alike.
