Rockit Apple Orchard with Lifestyle Appeal
Located in the sought-after Wharerangi area of Hawke's Bay, this 10.8-hectare (more or less) property presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a well-established Rockit apple orchard with both lifestyle and commercial appeal. Positioned west of Taradale and Napier City, and north of Puketapu, the property sits within a highly regarded horticultural district.
Fully developed in 2019, the orchard is planted in high-density Rockit apples on M9 rootstock, with supporting pollinator varieties ensuring strong yields and consistency. Now approaching mature, steady-state production, this is a proven operation that benefits from modern orchard design and efficient management practices.
Infrastructure includes an older-style dwelling, implement shed, pump shed, and an irrigation bore, with access provided via a shared gravel track and internal grassed headlands.
Surrounded by orchards, cropping land, and quality lifestyle properties, this holding offers both the lifestyle benefits of a rural setting and the productivity of a premium Rockit orchard asset. The Rockit variety is grown under strict Plant Variety Rights and export controls, ensuring a tightly managed supply chain and strong market positioning.
Whether you're an existing grower looking to expand or an investor seeking a balance of lifestyle and land-based income, this property offers an attractive blend of location, productivity, and potential.
Well located, well managed, and well worth a viewing!
