Waingaro Forest – Production & Carbon Potential

Waingaro Forest presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a medium-scale, second-rotation Radiata Pine asset in the highly regarded Waikato Region. Spanning 507.76ha of freehold land, the property includes a net stocked area of 398ha and a substantial 463ha of plantable area. Re-establishment has been actively progressed between 2022 and 2024, with the remaining 64.6ha scheduled for planting in 2026, positioning the forest for strong future performance.

Comprising 32 titles and divided by SH22 into two well-configured blocks, the property offers excellent accessibility, with multiple entry points, approximately 8–9km of internal roading, and strategically located skid sites supporting efficient operations.

With approximately 426ha potentially eligible for ETS registration, Waingaro Forest provides flexibility to pursue either a traditional production forestry model or a long-term carbon investment strategy, delivering both scale and optionality. Ideally located near Ngaruawahia, the property benefits from convenient access to key processing facilities and export ports, further enhancing its investment appeal.
