Landmark Horticultural business in prime location
An outstanding opportunity to acquire one of New Zealand’s premier commercial horticultural operations. Recognised as the South Island’s largest producer of Telegraph cucumbers, this highly efficient business combines proven production, established market channels, and an exceptional lifestyle location.

Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
4pm, Thu 8 Oct 2026

Producing approximately 1.6 million Telegraph cucumbers annually under 16,000sqm of protective growing facilities, the operation has built a strong reputation for quality and reliability. With an established supply chain and strategic proximity to major distribution hubs, the business is ideally positioned for continued success.

Current management has implemented sustainable crop management practices that support consistent production while enhancing long-term operational efficiency. With six climatic zones and an additional propagation house, there is significant scope to diversify into new crops or further expand production.

Complementing the commercial operation is a spacious 300sqm modern family home, featuring four bedrooms and generous living areas, providing an ideal balance of business and lifestyle.

The location offers the very best of both worlds. Christchurch CBD and Christchurch International Airport are both approximately 15 minutes away, while the nearest beach is just 15 minutes from the property and Canterbury’s renowned ski fields are within an hour’s drive.

The nearby Waimakariri River provides an outstanding recreational playground, with walking and cycling trails, world-class fishing, and jet-boating on your doorstep.
