All automated control.

The water supply is underground bore with commercial water permit for greenhouse irrigation, with two water storage tanks: the water consent is valid until 31 Dec 2012.

The pack house is about 10 x 12m, for chemical storage, tomato grader, toilet and hand basin, and tomato crates. There is also a 10 x 5m lean-to, for greenhouse equipment, farm machinery and automated controls for the glasshouses. In front of the pack house, parking is not a problem for ease of transporting produce to the markets.

The heating for all the greenhouses is controlled by electrical heat units.

A separate cottage, fully self-contained has 3 bedrooms and is in good condition, ideal for the extended family or for the teenagers to hang out.

The boundary hedges provide wind protection for the greenhouses.

There are two sun decks, which can be accessed from the family area and from the lounge. The grounds around the home are mature and this provides secluded privacy for outdoor living.

The total land area for this property is 2.8 acres. The property is only 4 minutes to Pukekohe Township and another 15 minutes to Bombay. Traveling to Drury interchange is about 20 minutes away.

This property is well set up for growing tomatoes or other indoor greens. The business is to be sold plus GST, zero-rated, as a going concern.
