Tuparoa Road, Ruatoria, Gisborne

Driftwood Station provides the rare opportunity to secure 502ha of predominantly medium contour land on the mighty East Coast. Having been held for over 20 years by the current owner and predominantly run as a beef breeding/fattening unit, the north-facing sheltered valley is being offered complete with a dwelling, woolshed, yards and an implement shed. Assessed as having a carrying capacity of 2,235 stock units across approx 300ha of grazing land, with the balance being predominantly native bush – the property provides a balanced opportunity for farming, forestry, recreation and lifestyle, only minutes from Ruatoria.
With a spring-fed stream and a number of dams, the property has good natural water, with some reticulation providing additional sources on the more heavily subdivided flatland. The grazing land is very clean, whilst the steeper country has benefited from significant coverage of mature natives – including manuka and kanuka. The property is bounded by a forestry block and could suit those looking for a forestry/hunting investment on the coast. The vendor would look at options to retain the infrastructure given this was the purchasers preference. With views ranging from Mt Hikurangi, the Waiapu River and onwards towards East Cape you won’t forget where you are, and you could be certain that everyday would be an adventure. Coastal farming at an affordable scale is offered with the sale of Driftwood Station, for sale by tender closing on 8th May 2024.
