Includes 17.4 hectares of freehold which have been progressively planted with six grape varieties from 1996 onwards which are fully irrigated. Sale includes the trade mark “Te Awanga” for wine.
Architecturally designed cellar door and tasting facility. There is a guest apartment with superb views over the vineyard to the coast. The building would readily convert to a superb modern residence. Located by the seaside village of Te Awanga approximately 22km from Havelock North, Napier and Hastings. Close to Elephant Hill Winery, adjacent to Clearview Estate Winery and Restaurant and before the well renowned Cape Kidnappers Golf Course and Lodge is this unique property. The two lease properties are adjacent to the main vineyard and have seven vintages to run and there are longer term supply arrangements. Plant and machinery included.
Upon arrival at the cellar door facility there is a large courtyard, attractive plantings and car parking. Upon entry a casual glance to the east provides a superb over view of the main vineyard to ocean and around to Cape Kidnappers. The facility was built in 1999 and also includes kitchen, office and storage areas. Water is town supply and the bio-effluent system is designed to handle winery waste as it has been envisaged that a small winery would be erected adjacent to the main facility. The cellar door facility is under a lease agreement which has two years to run from 01 November 2009 with a 12 months notice provision for termination. The Te Awanga Estate label has been reinstated with bottlings of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah which are available for purchase through the cellar door.
Plant and machinery to manage the vineyard is available at valuation.
The apartment contains separate bedroom, lounge, kitchenette and bathroom.
In addition, the popularity of the Te Awanga area for lifestyle farm park blocks also provides a potential opportunity to reduce the total capital cost of this purchase. Although subject to the normal regulatory consents, preliminary investigation has revealed there exists an opportunity to carve off five or six farm park blocks with panoramic vies across the vineyards, Te Awanga Village and out to the Pacific Ocean.
