Te Karaka Station comprises 594 hectares of very good sheep and cattle finishing country approximately 90km south of Auckland via Tuakau and Port Waikato. A substantial dairy conversion by a neighbouring property may see Te Karaka appropriate for a similar land use change. One of the Station's strong points is the contour - a good mix of alluvial flats, gentle rolling pastureland and some areas of rolling to medium hill. Te Karaka enjoys enviable shelter from the prevailing westerly wind as it is nestled in a natural low lying basin. The Station is currently running around 3,500 sheep and 450 bulls - all of which leave the property fattened - with peak stock units around 7,500. The property comprises three blocks with a very good four stand woolshed, stockyards and load-out facilities centrally located. The soils are a mix of clay loam and ash with a good portion of the property serviced by reticulated water. Fencing is mostly permanent with hot wire around much of the property also. A 100 tonne drive over fertiliser bin is easily accessed adjacent to a very good two-way airstrip. The main homestead, a split stone four bedroom home with detached double garage, sits nicely elevated overlooking much of the station with a second three bedroom dwelling handy to the woolshed. Te Karaka Station is in great heart with strong pastures, very good infrastructure and a track record of very rarely coming to the market - a testament to the performance of the property. The current manager has been in place for 12 years and is keen to stay on thus giving the purchaser continuity if so desired. Te Karaka Station represents a large parcel of land with excellent contour not too distant from Auckland and a real desire by the vendors to leave it well set up for the new owner.
