284 McCarthy Road

Graze, Forestry or Wilderness Playground

At 245 hectares, 284 McCarthy Road, Waiotahe, Opotiki offers scale and location. Along with its unspoilt native bush, 200 hectares is in grass and with 19,000 hectares of Waioweka DOC land on the boundary, this is a diverse and most unique property offering multi optional land uses.
Being in an area known for an evenly spread annual rain fall, the property is well located in an area considered as being a good summer location. Currently grazing and growing dry stock, and with its sheltered aspect, this grazing unit is recognised locally for breeding and growing quality livestock as well as being an effective support grazing unit.
Subdivided into five main paddocks, the holding is watered from natural streams. Until very recently, the property had been held and grazed by the same family for a several generations and in so has a significant historical association to the Waiotahe community and Opotiki region.
Within the property are well-formed access tracks that take you to all corners of the farm, all maintained with rock from within the property.

Located within 14 kilometres of Opotiki town, the convenience of the CBD is on your doorstep and yet the property offers a sense of elevated, remote wilderness. With exotic forestry and 19,000 hectares of Waioweka DOC land on the boundary, wild game grazes on the fringes and pheasants and quail are habituating in abundance.
A recently formed motocross track has been pushed in and with the scale the property offers, there are lots of options for horse trekking. A flat area has been developed beside one of the freshwater streams for family and friends to camp and potentially would make a base to build a rustic off grid cabin that will further enhance the mystic this magic property beholds.
This farm is well located to both Opotiki and Whakatane, 127km from Tauranga CBD via SH 2, and 129kms from Rotorua CBD via SH 30 and SH 2.
It's not too far if you're town or city based and looking for a weekend bolt hole or ports and sawmills if forestry is a consideration.
