Supreme offering!
Over the past 130 years the Swanson family have etched themselves into the history books. Initially purchased in the 1880's this superb opportunity is now offered once again.
This 48 hectare block (more or less) in two titles displays characteristics of a vision over time, a quality offering that represents both farming and environmental values. Visually the property is immaculately presented, with extensive hedging similar to an English county backdrop allowing shelter throughout the 38 paddocks, aesthetically the property is quite remarkable.
Infrastructure is well located and includes the unused dairy shed that could possibly still function, with a large eight bay barn nearby offering good calf or lamb rearing options, further shedding and an excellent set of cattle yards with loading ramps complete the picture. With flat contour and mix of sandy loam and river silt soils stretching across the property to the river boundary, the future is vast with multiple options that could be explored.
Currently 147 dairy heifers are being grazed from May to May, with silage strategically processed to control growth, a strong fertiliser history is also evident. Water is sourced via a bore with submersible, which feeds out through five separate lines to all troughs.
The established grounds with large trees set the original scene, although the homestead has grown over the years, it still exudes country charm with an element on modern living. The main living/kitchen area extends out to four bedrooms with two upstairs. An extension with modern touches is light filled and is used for entertaining. A detached triple garage with sleep out is also great addition.
Located west of Hamilton, near Whatawhata this once in a century offering, is well positioned, extremely well presented and a pleasure to bring to the market.
