"It's time to sell"
This is your chance to purchase a dairy/beef farm at an affordable price.
Located approximately 25km south of Dargaville, this 269 hectare dairy and beef farm offers your farming business versatility, ideally suited to finishing, calf rearing or milking. A warm wintering block, and a naturally fertile milking platform.
The milking platform is made up of approximately 64 hectares of peat flats and 50 hectares of sandstone, subdivided into 61 paddocks. The remainder of the property consists of 155 hectares of dry stock and winter grazing with established stands of manuka, native bush and pines.
Production for the 2019/20 season was 57,566kgMS from 190 cows on a twice a day system until December and then OAD. In addition to the milking platform, the property currently carries 130 other mixed dairy/beef cattle as outlined in the detailed information memorandum.
The contour of the land is 70% flat to easy rolling with the remainder a mix of medium hill with steeper faces. The pasture is a mixture of rye, clover, and kikuyu. Races throughout are in good condition and fences are a mixture of 2 wire electric plus 7 and 9 wire post and batten.
Infrastructure on the property is beneficial and includes a 16 ASHB milking shed that is supported by a 5-bay calf rearing shed, 2 hay barns, fertiliser bin, feed pad for 240 cows and a new cattle yard with head bale. Water is sourced from two locations, a bore located at the cowshed and a natural spring which both pump to troughs in every paddock. There is also a dam located in the beef/wintering block.
Accommodation consists of two well-appointed homes. The main homestead contains four bedrooms, one family bathroom plus separate shower and toilet with an extensive deck offering elevated views of the Kaipara Harbour. The second dwelling consists of a three-bedroom weatherboard home with views over the farm and features macrocarpa ceilings and doors. With the close proximity to the Kaipara Harbour, this location is perfect for the farmer that enjoys fishing.
