Opportunities to purchase a successful and profitable business such as this do not often occur, as it represents one of the larger suppliers of capsicums to the South Island market. On its own 2ha title, the capsicums and some egg plant production is carried out in double-skinned greenhouses that have computerised automatic temperature control, watering and plant fertilisation systems. Initial harvest began early in September, reaches full production in mid-October and continues through until May, when the plants are removed and the greenhouses sterilised and made ready for new planting beginning in June.

Improvements include a modernised three-bedroom home, a sleepout, large packing shed and office, greenhouses and other associated sheds.

The location of the property is very well-placed for daily delivery to markets in Christchurch, through Turners and Growers. Current annual production is around 120,000kg of capsicum, plus eggplant.

A mid-season possession in January provides immediate cash flow, with the vendors providing some management and advice to assist an incoming purchaser, if required.

A fantastic business and lifestyle opportunity.
