Lowcliffe and Fairview Farms are two Mid Canterbury dairy units with a combined three-year production average of 860,691kgMS.

Lowcliffe Farm offers 191 hectares (more or less) of flat, mostly irrigated freehold land and an adjacent 255 hectares (more or less) of irrigated leased land. As a Fonterra supplier, the farm has averaged 545,000kgMS over the past three seasons from 1,395 cows at peak. The cows are milked in a 70-bail rotary shed, and the property includes a manager's dwelling, two other dwellings, and four modern accommodation units for staff, along with all the necessary support infrastructure for a herd of this size.

Neighbouring Fairview Farm is a Synlait supplier with an A2 Herd and has produced an average of 316,000kgMS during the same period, milking up to 810 cows on 244 hectares (more or less) (approximately 225 hectares effective) of flat, irrigated land. This farm features a modern 54-bail rotary shed, two dwellings, and three modern units for staff.

Together, these two Mid Canterbury properties present a fantastic opportunity for an investor syndicate or family business to purchase a large-scale operation in one of the region's most desirable dairy farming districts. The owners of the leased land next to Lowcliffe Farm are keen to maintain their arrangement with new owners, allowing buyers to milk up to 2,200 cows without the upfront capital cost required to purchase that extra land, which is a significant advantage.

If you are looking for a large-scale operation, please contact Ben or Craig for further information.
