Exceptional Beef Finishing Opportunity in Northern Hawke’s Bay

These vendors know how tough it is for younger farmers to get a crack at farm ownership, because they’ve been there.

This 82ha beef finishing block in northern Hawke’s Bay offers not only an excellent farming opportunity but also the chance to take up an opportunity they’d like to provide a younger family looking to get onto some productive land.

The Property

• Land Use: Rolling hills, cattle country, ideal for fattening.

  • Fully reticulated paddocks (33 total)— well subdivided.

  • Pasture-based farming on pumice soils.

  • Low stocking rate currently (leased for grazing)—but previously wintered 77x 18-month steers, finished at just under 400kg carcass weight at 2 years old.

• Infrastructure:

  • Quality cattle yards onsite.

  • Multiple sheds, including a 6 bay pole barn, 3-car powered garage, a single garage, and an older workshop with power.

  • Well-maintained 4-bedroom family home with a spacious, inviting section.

• Extras:

  • 9ha pine plantation—ready for logging and offering potential extra revenue with no ETS restrictions.

  • Fully riparian fenced.

Why This Area?

The vendors have loved being in this area for the last almost-30years, and it’s easy to see why:

• Just 15km from Lake Waikaremoana—perfect for fishing, hunting, and family adventures.

• Ohuka Primary School (10km) and school bus service to Wairoa High School (37km).

• Rolling hills and a laid-back rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community.

Partnership Opportunity

The vendors are motivated to support the right buyer into land ownership and are open to vendor financing, provided the incoming party can bring at least 50% of the capital required. 

They’re looking for someone:

• Honest and hardworking—who is keen to give this block some love and get it cranking again.

• They can picture being decent neighbours - the vendors have subdivided a small section off and are in the process of retiring there. They’re not looking for neighbours who necessarily want to be social (they’re happy to keep to themselves) but they certainly need to be trustworthy and respectful.

• They’d love to see someone come in who is ready to make the most out of this property.

Why These Vendors Would be Great Partners

Having owned the farm for 26 years, the vendors are straightforward, supportive people who stick to themselves but genuinely want to help the next generation into farming. They have considered listing the property on the open market, but would rather a different approach that feels less transactional, while also giving a next generation buyer a better chance to explore options to make it work.

They’re open, laid-back, and motivated to sell, but they’ll take their time to find the right people to give this opportunity.

This property is a rare chance to take on a productive beef operation, enjoy a beautiful rural lifestyle, and build a pathway to ownership with a little support from people who get it.
