Canterbury Carbon Forest with Upside Potential
Tender ID: 543397
Tender Details
Tender Description
This forest offers a unique opportunity to seize control of your carbon commitments while enjoying the perks of subdivision, lifestyle, and recreation. Rather than relying on NZU spot market or Government auctions, cultivate your own carbon and profit from a rising carbon price. Acquire a forest sequestering substantial carbon for instant cashflow. The property is ETS-registered, with 10,868 carbon units included in the sale, and more available in January.
Situated just 10km from Oxford and 64km from Christchurch, it provides a tranquil escape for horse riding, hunting, walking, and mountain biking. The land ranges from 350-550m above sea level, with potential for a cabin offering a stunning view of the Canterbury Plains, along with an old tramping hut ready for restoration against a backdrop of beech forest.
This property spans 167ha across two titles, featuring 136.8ha of exotic forest. The remainder is mostly established native forest with clear streams flowing through. Planted in 1993, the forest is a mix of pines and macrocarpa, managed with a combination of pruned and unpruned regimes. Located on the Canterbury foothills near Oxford, it boasts notably superior carbon growth compared to the district average. Diverse tending practices and a sheltered location has resulted in a stable forest.
Accessibility is excellent, with direct access from public roads, along with tracks within the forest. Offering immediate and ongoing carbon revenue, exceptional recreational and lifestyle benefits, potential for subdivision, and convenient access, this property caters to a wide range of buyers.
