For the purpose of this transaction the vendor is GST Registered and the Purchase Price Plus GST (if any).

Located in Pukekohe's renowned vege growing region, this 30.7 hectares/76.75 acres of gentle to rolling free-draining fertile land sits at the top of a hill on a quiet country road. Surrounded by trees and native bushland, the property, also boasting natural springs, is home to myriad species of beautiful birds including tui, fantail, wood pigeons, pheasants and ducks. Our vendor has created a successful market gardening business here and is looking to buy a bigger farm but is interested in leasing the property back.

A stand-alone garage adjoins storage areas and there's also a pack-house, implement sheds and a huge concrete parking area. There are stables and an arena on the property however these have not been in use for some years. A deep well bore, stream and three ponds supply water to the home and farm. Historically land in this area was used for grazing however it is now producing high value food crops.

Refurbished to an excellent standard with luxurious fittings and finishes, the north-facing home has amazing views from the home's second level stretching across the countryside.

Gleaming timber floors give way to carpet in the adjacent dining area which flows into expansive family living then out to a large scenic balcony. Ornate windows flood these areas with natural light and those magnificent views. On this...
