Welcome Most farmers and growers are enjoying good returns with horticulture and sheep and beef especially vibrant. That confidence means the rural property market can look forward to plenty of activity this spring.

Some excellent listings and a wide range of motivated buyers are evident. When they come together, as is likely in the coming months, a significant quantity of rural properties will be transacted.

Provincial New Zealand’s lifestyle and residential real estate markets remain strong. For properties in these categories we are experiencing positive enquiry throughout the country.

In the Tasman region, demand for lifestyle property saw some strong prices in both Nelson and Marlborough through the winter; in Canterbury easy proximity to Christchurch was key with lifestyle property in Kirwee, Prebbleton, Tai Tapu and Ashburton districts all in keen demand; strong prices continue throughout the Central Otago and Queenstown/Lakes districts; while in Southland volumes of lifestyle market sales increased.

This edition of PGG Wrightson’s Property Express Extra carries a wide selection of South Island properties covering many regions and most property types.

Our people are one of the key advantages PGG Wrightson Real Estate offers to our clients.

Whether their expertise is in lifestyle or rural property, they all have plenty of real world experience, and usually have their own patch of dirt, piece of paradise, or both, to relate to.

Similarly, they have deep roots in their communities which is another critical advantage they bring when sitting down to provide wise and objective counsel to their clients.

Whether you are drawn to lifestyle, rural or residential property, you will find this publication worth consulting. Whether you are moving, upgrading or seeking a change, there may well be a property in here that meets your needs.

Regional update Tasman

Several Nelson and Marlborough sheep and beef farms will come to the market in spring, including some with excellent scale. In a profitable and optimistic period for red meat, they should be well received by buyers. An approximately 800 hectare South Marlborough hill country property will attract attention. Other Marlborough sheep and beef properties are listed for spring sale with PGG Wrightson Real Estate as well. Expansion of the hop industry is driving a portion of the region’s rural property market. Tasman district land growing hops expanded by almost 120 per cent between 2013 and 2019. It is set to increase further as the international craft brewing market responds positively to the locally developed proprietorial hop varieties that can only be grown under license and are most suited to that area.

6 New Zealand's leading rural real estate

Canterbury

Although Canterbury’s rural property market had a typically quiet winter, the spring should be busy with both buyers and sellers preparing to act, particularly in the sheep and beef sector.

Several potential vendors were weighing their options during the winter, making it likely that some of the region’s more desirable farms will be offered to the market in October or November.

Kind climatic conditions put Canterbury in better condition than for many years. Along with strong commodity prices, this encouraged farmers to more actively seek to add to their holdings, generating plenty of potential buyer demand.

One notable sale, of 1415 hectare Waiau medium hill country property Mt Terako Station, was finalised in June at a price firm on recent values for the farm’s locality, on the Inland Road. Dairy sector uncertainty means property activity there is subdued.

West Coast

Shareholders proceeding with the sale of Westland Milk Products to Chinese dairy company Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group dominated the West Coast’s rural sector through the winter. Although the sale has been approved and settled, buyers interested in West Coast rural property are likely to take at least another 12 months to become sufficiently comfortable with the new arrangement before committing to the purchase of farms. By that time the first payout will have been made, more certainty will develop in the relationship between farmers and the new owners, and Westland Milk’s suppliers will be more used to not having to concern themselves with the obligations of share ownership. In the meantime, the West Coast’s mild winter added further optimism in the region’s rural sector, accelerating grass growth and boding well for production through the upcoming milking season.

Mid and South Canterbury

Mild weather and good commodity prices motivated plenty of activity in the region’s winter rural property market with many farmers deciding to put their retirement and succession plans into effect. Spring listings include several substantial high quality grazing and finishing properties, carrying between 5000 and 8000 stock units, along with some well-appointed arable farms and a limited selection of dairy farms. Prospective buyers for these properties are evident, though conscious of where the market is sitting, and unlikely to table extravagant offers.

Before offering a farm for sale vendors need to be mindful of factors including water consents, infrastructure, environmental compliance levels and which catchment zone the property is located in. Anyone who can first obtain preapproval for finance will find operating in the Mid and South Canterbury rural market during spring easier than those without it.

Otago

Otago’s rural property market during the winter met expectations with regular enquiry for property on offer and sales proceeding as per normal for the time of year. Transactions were generally between local buyers and sellers with farmers typically consolidating or augmenting their businesses. Several interesting properties will come to the market in the spring including a portfolio of large sheep and beef units held by a corporate farm business in Taieri and Central Otago. Some dairy and grazing properties will also list for sale. Purchaser interest in these is likely to be positive, with the mild winter, adequate rainfall and good cashflow all encouraging for the region’s farmers. Interest in forestry is helping underpin the lower end of the market and Central Otago horticulture and viticulture properties continue to meet strong demand when offered for sale.

Southland

REINZ statistics show values for Southland farm sales have been stable for the past two years.

Dairy properties averaged $30,000 per hectare through that period, while sheep and beef farms consistently remained in the $14,000 to $15,000 per hectare range. Early indications suggest several Southland dairy farms between 140 and 200 hectares will come to the spring market.

Barnhill at Castlerock, a 1025 hectare Lumsden breeding and finishing unit, will attract serious buyer interest as listings of larger sheep and beef farms may be tight due to owners seeking to make the most of favourable export returns.

Several sheep and beef farms previously offered for sale have tended to sell for dairy grazing, though that trend appears to have eased. Any farm offered for spring sale in the $1000 to $1200 per stock unit range is likely to be well received.

A closer look Sheep and beef

Favourable climatic conditions through the past few months mean sheep and beef farmers in most regions are approaching the spring in an optimistic frame of mind. Several benchmark sales of sheep and beef properties took place in the North Island during the winter, with farmers encouraged to take their properties to market early, and motivated to proceed with succession plans. That strategy seems to have paid off. Similar positive market activity in the South Island is likely as spring proceeds with excellent listings in several regions. Farm prices appear to be strengthening, and new listings of sheep and beef properties are gaining ready attention from the market, based on continuing high commodity prices at the upper end and supported by changes to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme and government policy on carbon credits at the lower end.

8 New Zealand's leading rural real estate

South Island dairy

Over the past two years REINZ statistics show Southland dairy farms sold, on average, at $30,000 per hectare, a consistent value through that period, albeit the volume of dairy properties transacted is lower now than 2017/18. Meanwhile, owners of the best Canterbury dairy farms expect to sell around the $52,000 per hectare mark, though recent transactions have been rare.

A good supply of Southland dairy properties, ranging from 140 to 200 hectares, will come to the spring market. Canterbury vendors are also likely to list property. Those who can demonstrate the environmental compliance of their farms, now and in the future, will be better positioned to find willing buyers in what is shaping as a challenging market. Potential buyers in Southland are more abundant, mainly farmers with existing operations in the region who are looking to expand their holdings.

Viticulture

During a typical winter, limited transactions of existing vineyards and development blocks proceeded, though potential purchasers are preparing to increase activity, subject to securing financial support. Generally the interest is from wine companies and existing private growers seeking to purchase strategically.

With Marlborough land suitable for viticulture development almost fully utilised, two rural

properties listed for spring sale, one of 131 hectares in the Wairau Valley and one of 228 hectares in the Awatere Valley, will both command attention from the market. Both have water for irrigation and both have contours suited to vines at a scale that will attract corporates. While in general the sellers’ market for viticulture property is likely to prevail through the spring, some smaller vineyards listed for sale are not motivating purchasers due to the overcapitalisation of housing on them.

Cropping With this year’s contracts for feed barley and grass seed generally better than ever, confidence among arable farmers is high, though some are focusing on improving their equity position, which will temper demand to purchase property.

Transactions through the winter indicate that at the lower end of the arable sector values sit between $42,000 and $43,000 per hectare, rising to $45,000 to $46,000 per hectare for better appointed properties. A small number of Mid Canterbury’s premium arable farms will be offered for sale this spring. As usual, purchasers of these will most likely be existing farmers in the district.

Compared to last year, vendors have reduced pricing expectations by between eight and 12 per cent. However, this is influenced by the factors creating uncertainty in the dairy sector as much as by what is happening for cropping farmers.

Forestry

Although reduced demand through China’s wet season has resulted in export prices for timber softening by $25 to $30 per tonne in recent months, the drop in the New Zealand dollar and the continuing strong domestic market has compensated, meaning the sector remains upbeat. Speculation focused on changes to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme, which is making trade in carbon credits more lucrative, is another boost. Current pricing expectations for land sits between $25,000 and $30,000 per hectare for mature forests, up to $40,000 per hectare for premium quality forestry and between $5,000 and $7,000 per hectare for bareland blocks. With trees planted between 1990 and 1994 now almost ready for harvest, forests from that era are well sought after, particularly with the carbon credit aspect. At least one significant forest property is likely to list for sale in the spring.

South Island A mild winter and favourable commodity prices mean farmers generally have a positive outlook.

In the rural property market, that indicates plenty of activity through the spring, particularly around sheep and beef farms, where highly attractive properties have been offered for sale in several regions.

Uncertainty persists around dairying, impeding that sector’s property market. However, those vendors intending to sell dairy property, who can show that their farms comply with the required standards around land and water use, and are realistic about what the market is prepared to pay, should succeed in selling.

Plantation forests and bare land blocks suitable for trees should also find willing purchasers, particularly as the trade in carbon credits is becoming more lucrative. This trend has gained considerable traction in the North Island and may well also take hold south of Cook Strait in the coming months.

Meanwhile, in most South Island districts the market for lifestyle property is at least holding steady. One stand out is Central Otago, where according to the Real Estate Institute, while the volume of sales for the three months to August 2019 is consistent with the previous year, the median price of lifestyle blocks has increased by 29 per cent. Further north, the market in districts to the north and south of Christchurch is faring better than in their Mid Canterbury counterparts.

KAIUMA BAY pggwre.co.nz/ BLE29675 | Greg Lyons - 027 579 1233

Pelorus Sound development growing in popularity.

14 New Zealand's leading rural real estate

Recent sales suggest interest in Kaiuma Bay, stage one of a 79 section subdivision at the top end of Pelorus Sound around 20 kilometres from Havelock in Marlborough, is set to take off.

Greg Lyons of PGG Wrightson Real Estate, Blenheim, sold several of the properties through the winter and says the area’s attractions are gaining ever more serious appreciation.

“This is the only development of its kind in the Sounds that can reached by road, rather than solely having boat access, and Kaiuma Bay is well located relative to the region’s two main centres, sitting 85 kilometres from Nelson and 60 kilometres from Blenheim.

“A number of sections are available, ranging from around $180,000 up. Purchasers are generally interested in living permanently at Kaiuma Bay, retiring to the area or building an affordable bach. There is a good mix of people settling and others using it for weekends. Some families have moved in and schooling is easily accessible,” he says.

Although the development was initiated several years ago by renowned Marlborough wine industry pioneer Peter Yealands, Greg Lyons says, like a good vintage, it will take time to come to full fruition.

“People who have built there tell me they feel it will fully take off in the next few years. This is a perfect spot for those who want to make the most of what the Marlborough Sounds has to offer,� he says.

South Canterbury farms selling after 95 years of family innovation.

44 New Zealand's leading rural real estate

A 640 hectare Pleasant Point, South Canterbury farm holding, Rock Farm and Moa Flat, is for sale after 95 years in the same family.

Farmed since the 1980s by Herstall Ulrich and wife Aly, Herstall’s mother’s parents Geoff and Sybil Rich purchased the property in 1923.

Herstall says innovation has always been important.

“They were the first to buy a crawler tractor and the first to own a four wheel drive Land Rover.

“When my parents Penny and Gerard Ulrich took over the farm in the early 50s it was a summer dry property so climate was the challenge, though the Korean War wool boom enabled them to buy more land,” he says.

When pilots returning from World War Two pioneered top dressing, the Ulrichs opted for it to increase production, finishing lambs in early December to feed the English pre-Christmas market.

“That plant revolutionised what was previously a summer dry property. We now have 12 to 14 units per hectare, which is unbelievably high,” says Herstall.

When Herstall and Aly took over in the 1980s, times were challenging, with 20 per cent interest rates and a massive drought. They started innovating again when conditions became easier, putting in irrigation and becoming one of the first South Island farms to convert to a bull beef technograzing system. Decisions around pasture, going solidly towards Lucerne, also enabled significant stocking increases.

Now with decisions around succession looming, Herstall and Aly have engaged Calvin Leen of PGG Wrightson Real Estate Timaru, and his colleague Simon Richards, to sell their property.

finishing property, Moa Flat is mainly flat to rolling on excellent soils, with reliable irrigation.

Both farms offer outstanding aesthetics,” says Calvin.

That prompted a shift away from breeding, utilising feed better by focusing more on finishing.

“Rock Farm is mainly of rolling to steeper contour expertly developed as a predominantly

HERITAGE

Historic Central Otago high country station presents multiple options.

Helping grow the country 53

A historic Central Otago high country property with 150 years of heritage is for sale.

Comprising 2266 hectares, Happy Valley Station is 16 kilometres south of Cromwell. In 1946 Duncan Henderson’s parents Colin and Lillian purchased it, as he explains.

“My father had returned from the war, though at that stage the place was seriously run down.

Apparently the previous owners had mainly made a living catching rabbits, selling the skins and meat to a Cromwell rabbit processing factory,” he says.

When gold was discovered in Cromwell in 1862, the district became the site of prospecting and mining and the remnants of old workings are still on the property.

After Colin and Lillian Henderson bought Happy Valley Station it remained tough going.

“My parents struggled for those early years, then, in 1952, the Korean War started and wool prices took off. Along with every other sheep farmer in the country, the family’s fortunes turned around,” says Duncan.

They upgraded the property’s private irrigation scheme, which used a race built in the 1860s to take water to Bannockburn for gold mining.

In 1973 Duncan and wife Rae took over the farm. Duncan’s experience on Matangi Station

54 New Zealand's leading rural real estate

persuaded him to change Happy Valley’s genetics more towards fine wool and they now run a pure merino flock.

“That has fully paid off. We have contracts with Merino New Zealand supplying our wool to Italian suit makers, among others,” he says.

After four and a half decades Duncan and Rae are now selling Happy Valley Station. Shaun O’Docherty and Mike Direen of PGG Wrightson Real Estate, Alexandra are marketing the property, for sale by private tender, with offers sought by 18 December.

158 year farming family legacy for sale in Northern Southland.

72 New Zealand's leading rural real estate

David Thomas and his wife Julie took over Barnhill, the family farm just outside Lumsden, in 1969.

Now a 1026 hectare extensive sheep, beef and deer unit, Barnhill is named after David’s great great great uncle, Thomas Lowther Barnhill, who arrived in Dunedin on 27 November 1859 following a four month voyage on the SS Cheviot from Scotland, accompanying a large consignment of pedigree sheep from the Scottish Borders.

Thomas Barnhill was 20. He spent most of the rest of his life as manager of Castlerock Station, a 26,000 hectare pastoral run surrounding and including David and Julie’s property.

His first arrival at Castlerock followed six weeks driving a mob of Border Leicester sheep from Oamaru over largely untamed country, with no road access and only a compass to guide the way.

Once established, shipping the run’s wool to Invercargill required a bullock wagon drive down the Waimea Plains and across the Hokonui Hills, a round trip of at least two weeks.

Falling wool prices in 1879 made station life difficult, initiating wholesale slaughter and the construction of boiling down works to reduce the large quantities of carcasses to tallow.

In 1882 the refrigerated shipping of mutton brought welcome relief, enabling Castlerock to diversify production.

David says his family’s longevity has played a part in their farming success.

“Passing it on through just four generations over 158 years, and keeping up with the times, allowed us to make the most of the property,” he says.

Now they are selling, via Andrew Patterson of PGG Wrightson Real Estate, Invercargill, who says the property is a rare find.

“Barnhill offers numerous farming options, which currently include ewes, breeding cows, forestry and dairy grazing, while it has previously also run deer. Properties of this scale, with so much potential and diversity, are seldom available in this location,” he says.
