Prime location, in a league of its own
Located less than 10km from Wellsford and 86km north-east of Auckland, is a 281.24 hectare dry stock farm exuding potential.
Historically farmed as a dairy farm, with a milking platform of 165 hectares and maize grown over 25 hectares, this unit was not only profitable but productive. During this time the property benefited from an extensive re-grassing programme and regular applications of fertiliser. Currently the farm is being utilised for grazing and fattening 250 head of 18 months steers.
There is 165 hectares of predominately flat to undulating contour, subdivided into 60 paddocks and linked by an extensive limestone race with 36 hectares medium to easy hill country. Interests on the property offered include approximately 5 hectares of harvestable Radiata Pines, 9 hectares of covenanted bush and Greywacke (brown rock) quarry, which has been used as a base on the farm tracks.
The farm has an abundance of quality water from the Maenene Stream, which has been dammed by a large concrete weir. The water is reticulated around the farm by 40mm mainline and gravity fed to all the troughs and tanks with fencing predominately four wire permanent electric and two wire electric.
Infrastructure includes 39 ASHB disused cowshed with feed pad, large maize bunkers, supported by a good array of half round sheds, implement sheds and remodeled set of good solid cattle yards together with calf rearing facilities.
Aesthetically appealing and surrounded by mature native trees and post railings, is the spacious 370sqm brick homestead containing four bedrooms and double garage. The quaint three-bedroom cottage is located for convenience in the centre of the farm and provides moderate accommodation for the worker.
With a location close to Wellsford, popular east coast beaches and just over an hour north of Auckland, it is not often that large scale farming operations like this become available.
Astute purchasers will appreciate the location and the endless opportunities that this property presents.
