After four generations in the same family, Waipunga Station is now available for new stewardship. This 404 hectare (STS) grazing or finishing sheep and beef unit is located at Weber in the heart of Tararua and offers an exceptional blend of attributes.
The farm features a mix of alluvial river flats, 40 hectares of flat-easy country and medium contour country providing versatile land use options. Scattered pockets of stunning native bush not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also offer reliable shelter for stock and additional opportunities for recreational activities such as hunting. Adding to its charm is the Akitio River which boundaries part of the farm.
Benefiting from fertile soil types and with ample scope for cropping and the production of manuka honey, this property offers versatile opportunities. Centrally located sheds and yards, along with satellite yards at both ends of the property ensure operational convenience and efficiency.
The property offers a low maintenance four bedroom Lockwood home featuring open plan living with a separate lounge upstairs, new wool carpet throughout and master bedroom with full ensuite. The striking apex ceilings add to the appeal of the home. Located on an elevated site with concrete drive, it provides views of part of the farm and beyond.
Located just a short distance from the Weber Primary School and village, and with a bus stop for Dannevirke High School nearby, the farm combines rural charm with practical accessibility. There is also a rural delivery service operating five days a week. Dannevirke is the nearest service centre located 37km away. In addition to this the farm is located within 30-50km of three popular East Coast beaches: Akitio, Herbertville and Porongahau.
