288 Lavenham Road Patutahi, Gisborne District

Welcome to a property where years of dedication and development have laid the groundwork for an exceptional lifestyle and income-generating opportunity. Now, with the hard work complete, the vendors are ready to move on to their next chapter - leaving behind a truly remarkable offering for the next lucky owner.

This multifaceted property delivers not only the charm and character of a grand era home but also a reliable stream of income. Even Cyclone Gabrielle couldn't shake its solid foundations - thanks to over a century of thoughtful development, the land and buildings remained unscathed. In fact, avocados were back on the market as soon as the roads reopened.

The land is home to established, productive crops alongside new plantings to future proof the business and ensure ongoing returns. The main income crop, which is the Watercress, has had the production carefully refined over the years, with demand so strong for this clean, green and nutrient dense leafy greenery, that they have had to expand the planting to try and keep up. The vendors are keen to share their knowledge and help the next owners unlock the full potential of this high-value crop.

The large packhouse is built for efficiency and profitability, offering not only streamlined operations but also the potential for extra income through third-party packing services. At its heart is a high-capacity chiller that can hold up to 48 bins or 640 packed crates on pallets, supported by an avocado grading line with ample space for future upgrades. The high-stud shed includes a mezzanine floor for extra storage, while a spacious front loading bay ensures smooth logistics. Staff needs are well covered with a refurbished smoko room, as well as toilet and shower facilities, all complemented by a workshop and processing office.

With a balanced mix of watercress, avocados, bare land, and the full-service packhouse, this property is super manageable and offers outstanding income potential. Whether you're seeking a thriving business, a change in lifestyle, or both - this is an opportunity that deserves your attention.
