Project 2
50 ha OF LAND was developed for lifestyle living at Batty Road and Hawthorne Lane, karaka, AUCKLAND. MOST OF THE subdivided PROPERTIES WERE SOLD.
178 Batty Road, Karaka, is located only 10 minutes drive to the motorway interchange at Papakura and Drury, with Pukekohe and services close by. It takes around 38 mins to Auckland CBD in normal traffic, with Hamilton being around an hour's drive. The property has been developed with a good-sized home, a workshop, and a well-established mandarin orchard with 2,300 Satsuma mandarin trees.
1,700 Satsuma trees have matured in the past five years, while the remaining 600 have established in the last three years. The initial harvest of Satsuma mandarin was partly achieved in May/July 2022 with a satisfactory result.
Satsuma mandarins have recently become very popular due to their flavoursome taste and ease of peeling.
The potential annual production from each Mandarin tree would be approximately 100 kg or more on average when they fully mature. As a rough guide, the total production from 2,000 trees would be around 200,000 kg per annum. With the recent farm-gate price maintained around $3.50 per kg, this would be worth an estimated $700,000 in total gross earnings per annum. The maintenance of these trees is relatively simple, easy, and inexpensive in general compared to other crops or fruit trees once they are matured.
The property comprises 9.5 ha of farmland with Satsuma mandarin orchards and additional farmland with substantial improvements, and 6.1 ha of the land area has a conservation covenant with native bush with picturesque scenery of nature.
The house is set up with 6 x bedrooms, 4 x bathrooms, a kitchen, dining, living room, 2 x laundries, a two-car garage and a unique garden surrounding the house.
In addition, there’s a 200m2 building with a good size workshop, office, two flexible rooms, bathroom, and kitchen with built-in oven/gas cooktop, refrigerator, washing M/C and benchtop/cabinetry.
400m metal farm track was formed with a metal aggregate to access the eastern end of the property where there is additional large land for cropping, market gardening, or other use.
For a discerning buyer who’s after a peaceful and harmonious lifestyle in the countryside living with an extra
income, this property will be a perfect addition to their portfolio or simply as a primary residence.
6.5 ha land was developed for lifestyle living with enhancement of environment around the area, and sold the property in May 2022.
This lifestyle property was developed and sold in December 2021
