798ha of Forestry, Native Bush & Recreation

Set across approximately 798 hectares of dramatic coastal hill country at Waipapa Bay, Jelldale Forest combines established forestry and carbon with extensive regenerating native bush and exceptional back-country hunting.

The property includes 121.7 hectares of mature Radiata pine planted between 1994 and 1997, with 106.98 hectares registered as Post-1989 Forest Land under the ETS. A total of 31,775 NZU’s will transfer on settlement, with ongoing carbon income accounted for under the forest’s participant-specific FMA carbon tables.

Beyond the productive forest, more than 600 hectares of regenerating native bush and hill country rise from the Clarence River flats to approximately 1,100 metres ASL. Bordered largely by DOC conservation land, Jelldale is home to red deer, fallow deer and pigs, with chamois also known to visit.

A well-developed track network, three-bedroom hunting hut with solar power and gas, additional single-room hut and three-bay shed provide established infrastructure for immediate use.

Approximately 40km north of Kaikōura, Jelldale brings together mature forestry, carbon value, native bush and genuine back-country recreation within one substantial landholding.
