This park is home to New Zealand Trophy Hunting, an outfitting company that offers high-end hunting experiences to enthusiasts from around the globe. The combination of top-notch genetics and premium hunting experiences makes this estate a unique and lucrative investment opportunity.
The property is well sheltered with mature trees and features 175ha of irrigated paddocks, 152ha of dry land, and a 556ha sheep and beef hill block in a balanced mix of flat paddocks, terraced tops, rolling hills, and medium hills with good scrub cover.
Colliers Rural Sales Advisors Ross Robertson and Ruth Hodges have been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale with a purchase price of $7,500,000 plus GST (if any).
This property boasts significant river frontage to the Hakataramea River, renowned worldwide for its clear, clean waters, ideal for fly fishing and salmon spawning. The picturesque area is also popular for swimming and picnicking.
The property boasts a comprehensive range of improvements, including a large deer handling and sale facility, a three-bedroom character homestead set in well-established grounds, storage buildings, implement sheds, hay barns, a wintering shed, a woolshed, covered yards, and an office.
An ongoing development programme has significantly enhanced productivity, with well-established pastures, particularly in the irrigated areas, extensive fencing, established shelter, and attractive amenity plantings.
Because this operation is predominantly run as a large-scale red deer stud, cattle and sheep provide a good balance by grazing the land outside the deer fenced areas.
Capital stock is available for purchase and approximate figures at the property include 690 stags, 760 hinds, 260 animals in the trophy park, and 1,000 merino ewes.
Robertson, Rural Sales Advisor at Colliers, says there is significant growth potential on offer at this location owing to the multiple revenue streams.
This estate is ideally suited for someone looking to own a fully specialised deer operation with a stellar reputation for providing some of the best genetics in New Zealand, Robertson says.
Whether you are an investor seeking a profitable venture or a deer farming enthusiast looking to expand your operations, this property offers unparalleled opportunities.
Hodges, Director of Colliers Rural & Agribusiness in Otago and Southland, says the trophy estate is one of New Zealand s oldest and the park is recognised as one of the country s leading game parks, producing many world record trophies.
Proven game management principles have enabled the game park to continue to provide an outstanding hunting environment for a wide range of trophy animals. The estate continues to be a sought-after destination for many other New Zealand outfitters as well as home base for New Zealand Trophy Hunting, Hodges says.
The safari park and trophy business is a significant contributor to the farm revenue and profits. It also provides a high value outlet for stag production. Virtually all stags produced on the properties are sold as trophies.
From the subject property, Queenstown Airport is 225km away and Dunedin is 215km to the south.
