A good race system makes for easy access to all 40 paddocks. Fencing consists of 5-7 wire on the boundary and mixture of 2-3 wire electric and some 5-7 wire permanent with single wire outriggers internally.
Water is sourced via a deep bore and pumped to a 30,000 litre tank at the dairy shed. From there it is pumped through 40mm mainlines up to two 25,000 litre tanks on top of the hill then gravity fed through 32mm mainline and 25mm and 20mm laterals to troughs in all paddocks. Morrinsville town water is used to wash milking plant and supplies the house.
The main dwelling is 160sqm with four bedrooms and an office. Garaging consists of a 40sqm enclosed garage and one 3 bay open sided 70sqm garage. There is a second one bedroom dwelling.
With the sellers very motivated this property would be a great buy both as a dairy or cheap grazing block.
