Description
This is a premium dairy farm nestled in the heart of one of New Zealand's most established farming districts. This exceptional property spans 123 ha encompassed under one title (subject to final survey), offering an excellent range of farm infrastructure, and the production consistency associated with pasture irrigation.
Overview: The property is currently supplying Fonterra and milks approximately 300 cows at a stocking rate of 2.4 cows/ha. The farm is split by Galatea Road, with a stock underpass connecting each side. The eastern block is near flat, while the western block features gently undulating terrain and historic river terraces. This part of the property backs onto the Rangitaiki River.
Farm Infrastructure: The farm features a modern 40-aside Highline Herringbone dairy shed with cup removers and automatic plant wash. There is a range of other shedding including a multi-bay implement shed with enclosed concrete floor workshop. The 3.4 km all-weather laneway system ensures efficient access across the property. Fencing is in excellent condition, with a mix of multi-wire post and batten and electric internal fencing. Water is sourced from a bore near the dairy shed. Irrigation water is via surface water take consent from the Rangitaiki River, allowing irrigation of approximately 100 hectares via a lateral line and sprinkler system. This system covers the full effective dairy area. Dairy effluent is gravity-fed to a sump and pumped to a travelling irrigator. The property holds a valid effluent discharge consent until 2038, with a required upgrade to storage capacity currently underway.
Housing: The property features two homes. The main home is a modern, brick-clad 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence with internal access garaging. The second home is a charming, older 3-bedroom weatherboard home with an additional outside room - perfect for staff accommodation.
This is a turnkey opportunity for serious dairy operators looking to secure a high-performing asset in a sought-after dairying region.
