Boutique farming operation
Set across 19.14ha (more or less) in the sought-after Pirongia district, this well-established property combines productive grazing, quality infrastructure and an appealing rural environment, presenting an exciting opportunity for those looking to secure a manageable farming or lifestyle holding.
Purchased in 2011 as a bare maize-block and developed into what it is today. Currently being farmed as a boutique sheep and beef stud operation, this fertile, flat to easy contoured, well fenced and subdivided farm would also make an exceptional equine, dairy support or cropping/horticultural property.
The property boasts excellent farming infrastructure with multiple shedding options, great stock handling facilities and accommodation is taken care of with a large 3-bay barn that incorporates a comfortable, expansive 1-bedroom self-contained living.
Beyond its practical attributes, the property has a wonderfully established feel. An extensive selection of mature fruit and nut trees provides an impressive variety of seasonal produce, while established hedging, specimen trees and plantings contribute shelter and privacy throughout. The property borders the Waipa River. Two footbridges providing creek access to established native plantings - a peaceful natural feature that adds another dimension to this already diverse holding. Located in the Otorohanga District, just 1 km south of Pirongia township on Highway 39.
Build your dream home, run livestock, establish a rural base or simply enjoy the freedom and space of country living, this property is awaiting its next chapter.

What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $1,015 × 52 weeks = $52,780, against the council valuation of $1,790,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

We read this property as a house with 1 bedroom. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
We do not hold flood maps for Ōtorohanga District yet.
Contaminated land
Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.
Waikato Regional Council does not publish its register. Ask it for a HAIL search on the property; some district councils sell their own report.
Ask Waikato Regional CouncilWhat could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
