Description

Looking for a farm that balances high-performance infrastructure with genuine aesthetic appeal? This 252 hectare (in four titles) Puhipuhi dairy gem offers the rare combination of quality infrastructure, volcanic soils and some of the most stunning landscapes in the region.

The production powerhouse: Currently operating as a conservative, predominately grass-fed system, this farm is built for efficiency and has a massive upside.

  • Current performance: Spring calving and milking 330 cows they are on track for 120,000 kgMS with a low input system
  • The soil advantage: Approximately 200 hectare effective of volcanic soils. Estimated 150 ha that is cropable and mowable.
  • A massive 13 ha irrigation lake. When combined with effluent irrigation, you have the capacity to cover 75% of the farm, ensuring green grass when others go brown.

Quality infrastructure: Whether you prefer a low-input setup or want to push production, the "bones" are here

  • One-person milking: A 50-bale rotary shed equipped with automatic cup removers and auto-drafting. This significantly reduces staff dependence and keeps overheads low.
  • High-input ready: Featuring two 200-cow herd homes and a feed pad. The previous owner milked 470 cows here-the scalability is already proven.
  • Support buildings: Large calf rearing sheds, multiple implement sheds, and a functional metal quarry on-site.

Lifestyle and landscapes: This isn't just a workplace; it's a destination. Once people move to Puhipuhi they generally stay in Puhipuhi.

  • The scenery: Stunning native bush, dramatic rock formations, and a river winding through the property.
  • The "wow" factor: A private 40-foot waterfall and a picturesque lake.
  • Accommodation: Three quality homes. The main residence has been tastefully renovated, while a second home boasts incredible waterfront views.
  • Location: Puhipuhi 24 kms to Whangarei CBD (on sealed roads) and 20 kms to Northland stunning east coast.
