Ratanui Farm

This 168ha property is a unique offering in three titles, renowned for its clear water, lush pastures, ethical farming practices and hospitality. Ratanui has hosted events from product launches, weddings, art exhibitions and music events. Privacy and security are priorities with the environment and location as big drawcards.
This fertile holding generates various returns with room to expand into horticulture, agriculture or tourism ventures. Stock is grass-fed mainly rye clover and plantain pasture, silage and hay cut on farm with no supplements brought in.
The farm is well fenced with cattle and sheep-proof paddocks with laneways. Fencing is 7-wire post and batten with second wire electric. All paddocks offer stock shelter with troughs in most. Native plantings have been picked for coverage and soil quality retention. A 2ha block of maturing pines, 1ha block of Tasmanian blackwood and a few gums for firewood add an income stream.
The water is held in tanks and gravity fed to the houses, farm, shearing shed, cottage and units. Three streams run through the property.
The main dwelling is a heart rimu homestead circa 1950's, with original features mixed with modern updates, and the outdoor zones have a priceless outlook. The home has HRV, security, sprinkler systems and is wheelchair friendly. There is also a three bedroom second home and four short term accommodation units.
The property has many sheds and buildings plus a concrete work area. The stable and covered yard, vet crush, kennels, pig house, three hay sheds, covered fertiliser bin along with all-weather tracks and roads create an easy to manage property. The historic four stand wool shed has undercover and outside yards.
Ratanui, nestled in the Kauroa Valley 10km from the West Coast town of Raglan, is a historically significant property with outstanding potential.
On offer in addition to the 168ha advertised is a further approx. 97ha in four titles with one holiday unit. For more information or to view this property contact Richard today!
