78 Nukumaru Station Road, Waitotara, South Taranaki, Taranaki

OPEN DAY - WEDNESDAY 11TH MARCH 11.00-11.30AM - HOUSES WILL BE OPEN FOR INSPECTION

Welcome to 78 Nukumaru Station Road – a rare dairy opportunity in the highly sought-after Waitotara District. Properties of this quality, size, and standard in this area seldom come to market, and McDonald Real Estate takes great privilege in presenting this outstanding farm to the market. Spanning a total of 111ha across 13 titles, this certified organic property offers a predominately flat, productive milking platform with excellent soils and reliable rainfall, making it perfect for continued organic dairy operations or a range of alternative farming opportunities.

The farm currently milks approximately 245 cows and has been operating as a Certified Organic property since 2002, with milk production over the past three seasons averaging more than 90,000?kgMS. Historically managed as a split-calving herd, the farm has now transitioned to an all-Spring system. In line with its Certified Organic status, the dairy operation has always focused on generating additional supplement requirements from the dairy platform itself, with only a minimal number of approved supplements introduced each season. The operation has also traditionally been supported by a leased run-off, which provided extra grazing for dry cows and young stock; however, this lease is not currently available with the property.

The property is efficiently designed, featuring a central race system servicing 48 paddocks, with the cowshed and main support buildings positioned near the centre for convenience and excellent access throughout. Key infrastructure includes an 18-a-side herringbone cowshed and newly constructed yards and loading facilities ensuring smooth and effective day-to-day operations. Water is supplied via the Nukumaru Water Scheme, servicing both stock and cowshed requirements, as well as supplying three of the dwellings on the property. Current consent for the water scheme is in place with Horizons Regional Council until 2042.

Accommodation is well-provided across the property, with a total of four dwellings offering ample space for owners, staff, or rental opportunities. The main residence is located off State Highway 3 (SH3), while the additional three dwellings are positioned towards the centre of the property, providing convenient access for farm staff and close proximity to the cowshed and supporting infrastructure. This layout ensures flexibility for housing farm workers or generating additional rental income.

This is a truly rare and exceptional opportunity in Waitotara. Properties of this quality and scale seldom come to the market making this farm a must see.
