428 Mangatarere Valley Road, West Taratahi

Located only 10 minutes from Carterton in the picturesque Mangatarere Valley lies an opportunity for creating a lifestyle haven with investment opportunity. Harvesting of the 106 ha (more or less) former forest bloc (excluding approximately 10 ha) was completed in 2023. Skid sites were positioned to take in the stunning views of the Wairarapa Valley over Masterton/Carterton and the eastern hills, to create outstanding building sites. Roading allows easy driving on steeper terrain and has been constructed to a high standard. An area of native bush shows how the landscape could look like if left to regenerate. Options for the property include building, allowing the area to regenerate into native forest, replanting some or all with plantation forest, and subdivision. The property could be registered under the ETS. The Mangatarere stream adjoins, with two very short walks to amazing swimming holes and native trees: a great place to spend a day listening to birdsong, fishing, and taking in the absolute privacy and tranquillity on offer. For the off-grid enthusiast who is looking for an escape to the country and wanting a place to develop and enjoy, come and see this one.
