Here is an excellent opportunity to acquire a going concern orchard farming business that is run like clockwork, with its premium fruit quality reflected in the production figures and returns. Its infrastructure is consistently maintained and also in excellent condition. Vacant land is available for further expansion of the existing orchards.

This business is well run with no expense being spared on improvements and maintenance. It is operated most of the year by a team of dedicated staff who ensure the property is in tip top condition. The property owners are from overseas, and attend the property to assist during the busy packing season.
