Comprising six forests in the Hawke’s Bay and Southern North Island wood supply regions, these holdings span over 2,141 hectares of freehold land. Available for acquisition individually or in any combination of forests, the offering presents an opportunity to secure scale, a growing carbon sequestration profile, and future woodflow in some of New Zealand’s most proven forestry regions.
The landholdings were selected for their production forestry attributes including suitable contour, LUC classification, soil types, proximity to public arterial roads and end markets, while also benefiting from the region’s favourable climate and growth characteristics.
Two of the forests are currently registered in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), with the remaining four set to be registered before settlement—significantly de-risking the opportunity. The diverse age class and ETS accounting methods (stock change and averaging) provide flexibility for an incoming owner to earn NZUs while managing both carbon and wood flow strategies effectively.
Benefiting from a favourable growth climate and strategic proximity to domestic wood processors and export ports, the forests are well-positioned for strong future performance. Extensive internal roading networks enhance accessibility, while established native bush reserves—supported by ongoing pest control initiatives—further add to the environmental and ecological value of the estate.
