158ha with options - farm, invest or diversify

Set across 158.8328 hectares (more or less) in seven titles, this is a well-located Northland farm with options written all over it. Productive in the past, practical today, and positioned for tomorrow.

Formerly a dairy unit, the property has operated successfully as a dry stock farm for the past three years. Income is currently generated through beef trading and dairy grazing up to 400 cows and 160 R2's in summer. The farm is a grass growing machine. Over the past two seasons the vendors have diversified with the addition of a 20-acre sunflower crop. This venture has drawn strong public interest and delivered excellent supplementary returns - a reminder of the upside available here when initiative meets location.

Infrastructure is extensive and fit for purpose. Two hay barns, a quality calf-rearing shed, a disused 38 ASHB cowshed and yard, and two substantial effluent ponds provide a solid operational base should a purchaser wish to return the farm to dairy. With reinstallation of plant and some upgrades, that pathway is open. The farm is well fenced into approximately 65 paddocks, supported by a strong race system that allows for efficient stock movement and management. The contour is easy rolling and highly usable.

A tidy two-bedroom dwelling offers additional rental income or comfortable on-site accommodation for an owner-operator.

Location is a strength - within easy reach of Parua Bay School, shops and several popular east coast beaches. Whangarei city centre is only a 24km drive via a scenic route around the Whangarei harbour edge. It is rare to secure scale, income diversity and coastal proximity in one holding.

Properties of this size, with multiple titles and proven income streams, are tightly held in this district. The combination of flexibility and location will attract wide interest. If you have been waiting for a farm that offers options without compromise, this may be the one others wish they had moved on sooner.
