Attractive, productive dairy farm
This picturesque 257 hectare (more or less) dairy farm is in 8 titles, has been solidly farmed for the past 50 years, and is a great opportunity to be purchased as an inter-generational family farm or investor.
The farm has produced a three-year average 146,168kgMS from 500 cows, with the best production achieved in the 2022 season being 157,239kgMS, on a milking platform of 230 hectares and on a once a day system.
The contour is flat to gentle rolling with a well formed central race system, providing easy access to the 100 paddocks. Pasture is a mixture of predominantly rye/clover with kikuyu.
Effluent is a three-pond system with storage and contents spread over the farm via slurry tanker, with consent to discharge. An upgraded water system is sourced from the farm stream with the mainline 65mm feeding up to the header tank which is gravity fed around the farm through 50mm line and 25mm to troughs. Supplements made on farm are a combination of chicory, turnips and maize, with a regular application of fertilizer as per Ballance recommendation.
Limestone races which loop around the farm are in excellent condition and maintained by the existing quarry. Stands of native bush create a picturesque and appealing setting along with approximately 6 ha pines.
Farm infrastructure includes a very tidy 30 ASHB cowshed complemented by a new refrigeration unit and water cooler system. Array of buildings include four bay implement shed, calf rearing sheds, haybarns and solid cattle yards.
The main dwelling consists of a very spacious five bedroom home, single garage, separate chiller room, and is well appointed for the sun and farm outlook. The second dwelling is a comfortable three bedroom home with separate garage.
The Kaipara harbour is right on your door step, with the dairy farming township of Ruawai located only a 10km drive away, with all your needs catered for, whether for the farm or family.
