First time to the market since 1883 -594ha


Situated in the rural Wimbledon District, this expansive 594-hectare sheep and beef farm is a testament to generations of dedicated farming. Since 1883, the Hales family has nurtured this land, creating a family legacy that spans over a century.

This remarkable property boasts not one, but two main homes, a cozy cottage, and spacious shearers' quarters, offering comfortable accommodations for a multitude of residents. At its heart is a four-stand woolshed, equipped with 1,000 night pen capacity, complemented by sheep and cattle yards. Satellite sheep yards, strategically located atop the farm, enhance its operational efficiency.

With approximately 400 effective hectares of predominantly hilly terrain, this farm is perfectly suited for its primary inhabitants: 1,540 ewes, including replacements, and 70 mixed age cows and heifers. A small number of trading cattle add versatility to the operation. Additionally, 48-hectares are dedicated to Pinus Radiata forests, intermingled with scattered scrub and valuable Manuka, harvested by Settlers Honey.

This farm isn't just about agriculture; two quarries, strategically located at each end of the property, supply essential roading material, one quarry currently under a lease agreement.

Location-wise, this property offers the best of both worlds. Just minutes from the historic Wimbledon Hotel and being only 10km from the pristine shores of the popular holiday destination at Herbertville Beach, having a golf course, and many family baches. It's also conveniently located 65km from Waipukurau and 140km from Napier Port, providing accessibility to both nature and commerce.

Whether you're embarking on your first farming venture, exploring the potential of Manuka cultivation, or considering a forestry conversion, this property offers a remarkable canvas and platform to build off. The Hales family's century-long stewardship has made this farm a true gem in the heart of the Wimbledon District, ready for its next owner.
