Proven performance with flexible purchase options
Set across 285.1629 hectares and in four titles, this well-established dairy farm presents a rare opportunity to secure a proven, productive operation with flexibility to purchase either the full 285.1629-hectare holding or 190.9638-hectares by tender.
Owned and farmed by the same family for the past 46 years, the property has been carefully developed into a System Five dairy operation with strong production and strong infrastructure. Home to the well-established Crossroads Holsteins Stud, the farm has built a strong reputation for quality Holstein Friesian genetics. The operation has supported peak cow numbers of 315 cows under a winter milk contract, with the past three seasons averaging 187,731 kgMS and the 2025/2026 season producing 203,035 kgMS at an average of 681 kgMS per cow.
The farm features approximately 116 paddocks across mostly easy contour, with the balance in rolling country and steeper sidings. Soil types include peat, Te Kopuru sand and some redhill loam. A reliable water supply is provided by bore water, along with consent to draw water from the Aratapu Creek for the purpose of irrigation.
Infrastructure is extensive and well suited to a large-scale dairy operation, including a 30 ASHB cowshed, calf shed, feed pad, feed bunker, four-bay implement shed, three additional sheds, and a disused cowshed offering further potential.
Accommodation is well catered for with two comfortable four-bedroom homes. The main residence offers a near new kitchen, two bathrooms, woodburner, heated swimming pool, and a four-bay shed. The second home provides four bedrooms and one bathroom, making it ideal for staff or extended family.
Whether you're looking to expand an existing operation or secure a high-performing dairy farm with proven results, this is a property that delivers scale, production, infrastructure, and flexibility.
