Waikaraka Forest

Waikaraka Forest is a quality Northland radiata pine investment comprising 209.9ha of freehold land, strategically positioned to take advantage of both domestic processing and export market access. The property benefits from excellent proximity to key timber infrastructure, located approximately 4km from Rosvall Sawmill and only 48km from Marsden Point Port, supporting highly competitive cartage economics.

The forest currently comprises a net stocked area of 109.5ha, with established radiata pine stands planted between 2012 and 2017 following harvest. A further 22.3ha is scheduled for replanting during the 2026 season, bringing the estimated productive area to approximately 131.8ha. The property offers a balanced age class profile alongside immediate upside through the upcoming planting programme.

With dual access points, strong underlying infrastructure, and exposure to some of New Zealand’s most competitive timber markets, Waikaraka presents a rare opportunity to secure a well-located Northland forestry asset. In addition to its long-term forestry potential, the property also offers future optionality given its proximity to Whangarei and the continued growth of the surrounding region.
