Nursery & Residence
City and country lifestyle and financial security
Superb north island nursery and residence bursting with features.
Located in a scenic regional setting only 30 minutes from the Auckland CBD, this ideal business opportunity has everything.
The Business:
Superb North Island nursery and residence bursting with features Commencing operation 14 years ago, the nursery has attracted an extensive retail and wholesale clientele selling a broad range of nursery products with a particular focus on New Zealand natives and exotics. Principal competition comes from the garden centres closer to the city. However, unlike the nursery, which grows 80% of its own products, the centres are unable to offer the necessary product range and stock levels required by developers and landscapers. They also can’t compete with the value-for-money rates of the nursery, making it a popular choice for the general public and commercial clients alike.
In addition to the business’ outstanding reputation, the retail client base has been actively cultivated through regional advertising including radio and mail outs. It’s significant to note the business already has complete resource consent, saving the new owner considerable time and expenditure.
The Property and Location:
Set on 22 acres, the property is located in a quiet district just north of Auckland. Because of its convenience to the city and picturesque setting, the surrounding area is becoming increasingly popular for lifestyle blocks as well as having the more traditional farms and wineries.
Ten acres of the property is leased to another operation, this includes an area of a large water supply dam which provides irrigation to the leased area and the nursery. This area of leased land is an informal arrangement and at any time could be used for further significant development of the nursery along with its existing purpose built facilities. There is dual road access to the property which could be capitalised on further down the track with the potential for subdivision.
The Residence:
Also on the property is a brand-new 3-bedroom residence, immaculately presented in a private setting with landscaped gardens. The exquisite attention to detail is obvious throughout the gardens, which attract an abundance of native bird life. The residence is totally hidden from the retail area of the nursery to completely maximise the privacy and security of the owners. As well as an office and modern kitchen other facilities include large double garage and two separate living areas – a perfect family home for someone new to New Zealand or the area.
