48 McWatt Road, Maramarua, Franklin, Auckland

Here’s your chance to own a remarkable 181-hectare dairy farm featuring premium infrastructure, gentle contours, and high-quality pastures. Boasting two titles, this property offers immediate productivity and the potential for long-term growth. Conveniently located near State Highway 2, you’ll be just 80 km from Auckland, Hamilton, and the stunning Coromandel.   The farm operates a full autumn calving herd, supplying milk to Open Country and achieving an impressive average production of 145,000 kg MS over the last three seasons with a herd of 380 cows. This setup takes full advantage of winter premium incentives, making it an efficient and profitable operation.   At the heart of the farm is a modern 450-cow feed pad designed to minimise waste and enhance labour efficiency while ensuring optimal cow comfort. The state-of-the-art Delaval Double 20 Parallel Rapid Exit Milking Parlor, completed just five years ago, is a standout feature. Equipped with the Delpro Herd Management System, it offers individual milking stalls, milk metering, automatic cup removers, and Cow ID technology and auto drafting making milking a breeze and supporting excellent animal health management. The property’s predominantly flat terrain, with some easy hill paddocks, is divided into approximately 80 well-fenced paddocks, ensuring effective grazing management. A well-planned race system provides all-weather access to paddocks, and reliable water is supplied by three bores.   In addition to the farm’s impressive infrastructure, there are two residences: a comfortable 4-bedroom manager/staff house and a beautifully renovated 1940s 4-bedroom main homestead, featuring established gardens and a swimming pool—perfect for unwinding after a long day.   With quality infrastructure in place and the potential to increase production, this farm is ideal for an owner-operator or an investor seeking a strong agricultural opportunity in the dairy sector. As the current owners prepare for retirement, the property is available for purchase as a going concern.   For more information, please contact Chris Meban or Clint Brereton. Don’t miss your chance to own this exceptional dairy farm!
