A rare horticultural opportunity - Avogrey Orchard
Established Orchard. Proven Production. Exceptional Infrastructure.
Opportunities to acquire an established horticultural property of this calibre are rare. Avogrey Orchard comprises approximately 12.9 hectares across two adjoining freehold titles on Bushmere Road, Waerenga-a-Hika, Gisborne, combining high-quality fertile soils, established permanent horticulture, substantial infrastructure, ‘A' consent water supply and a proven production history.
Owned by the vendors for approximately 60 years, the property has been carefully developed into a diverse horticultural operation producing avocados, tamarillos, citrus and specialty fruit. The orchard includes plantings of the licensed Avogrey® cultivars - GreyStar, Eclipse and Titan as well as Hass and Reed avocados.
The property is well equipped for continued horticultural production, with an established packhouse and associated facilities, multiple substantial sheds, workshop areas, and other operational infrastructure. A range of machinery required to operate and maintain the orchard and property will be included, providing a purchaser with a strong existing platform from which to continue the business.
The substantial four-bedroom home plus office provides comfortable accommodation alongside the orchard, featuring a large kitchen, open-plan living and dining flowing directly onto a deck and expansive lawn. Established private gardens and mature trees provide an attractive and peaceful setting.
For an experienced horticultural operator, the opportunity is to take over an established orchard and continue growing the exceptional Avogrey varieties. There is scope to improve existing plantings, redevelop older areas and lift production over time. Alternatively, the property's fertile soils, established horticultural environment and location amongst significant permanent horticulture provide an opportunity to consider alternative land uses, including redevelopment into crops such as kiwifruit, apples or persimmons, subject to suitability and required approvals.
With productive land, established water and irrigation infrastructure, extensive improvements, accommodation and horticultural facilities already in place, this is a property that offers both immediate functionality and genuine future potential.
Prospective purchasers are encouraged to undertake their due diligence and submit their best offer by the Tender closing date. Contact the sole agents today for further information, inspection details and the Tender documentation.
