Tender Description

Silverstream Forest is superbly located on the foothills of Wellington overlooking the township of Silverstream in Lower Hut. This is an extremely rare opportunity to secure a freehold land holding of 350+ha on the doorstep of New Zealand's capital city. With several domestic processing options nearby or exporting through CentrePort in Wellington just 26 km South via SH2, the forest is well situated to service both local and international markets and is also positioned with subdivision potential.
Silverstream Forest is a second rotation, pre-1990 forest with a current stocked area of 174ha and a further 40.7ha awaiting replanting. The property already has significant improvements from the previous harvest including approximately 10km of log roads providing excellent access through the block. Harvest infrastructure also includes 20+ skid sites. Watch your asset grow with minimal capital investment on infrastructure needed between now and harvest.
Access to the block is directly off SH2 from the northern lanes or Moonshine Hill Road. This immediately opens access to multiple domestic sawmills both northeast and west and Wellington's CentrePort, all within a short distance. The location of the property lends itself to potential future development with beautiful views over the Hut River and across to Silverstream and Heretaunga. Both Upper Hut and Lower Hut are mere minutes from the property and Central Wellington with 30 minutes’ drive.
Colliers has been exclusively appointed to manage a single stage tender sale process. This Information Memorandum (‘IM’) has been prepared to provide most of the property information, whilst access to further detailed information is available upon request.
