316 Takapu Road Takapu Valley, Porirua City

Seldom do unique rural opportunities like this come to the Wellington market. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a 220-acre slice of Wellington's farming history after more than 150 years in the same family.

William Woodman started the farm across the hills of Takapu Valley, above Tawa, in 1866, but now his great-grandson, Stuart Woodman has decided it is time to sell.

Previously run as a sheep breeding and finishing unit, the property is located 17 kilometres north of Wellington and within close proximity to all of Johnsonville's and Tawa's main amenities. Rising from Takapu Road to the western boundary of the Belmont Regional Park with panoramic views out to Porirua Inlet and Plimmerton, it features a balance of easy, medium and steep contour and is predominantly open, clean country with some areas of native bush in various gullies.

Featuring two road accesses, seven paddocks, extensive fencing and access tracks, it has potential to winter 700 stock units. Water requirements are supplied by the natural feed springs and streams which run across the property. Infrastructure includes a three-bay garage with gantry and inspection pit, and a three-bedroom cottage set in a warm sunny aspect.

This provides for plenty of future upside for the astute purchaser looking to take advantage of untapped potential. Call now for further information or an appointment to view.
