This 66 hectare (more or less) dairy unit, between Morrinsville and Hamilton, is a great little farm. The rectangular shaped property with a central race makes for ease of management.
Soil is mostly consolidated peat loam with a smaller portion of Hamilton clay loam.
The 12 aside dairy is located near the front of the property with races feeding out to all thirty paddocks.
Around 200 cows are milked with production average recently of 70,000 milk solids and 48 calves carried on farm.
Around 200-250 silage bales are made on farm annually with varying amounts of purchased supplements depending on the season.
Water is sourced from two bores on the property and pressure fed to troughs in each paddock. Effluent is contained in a pond handy to the dairy and pumped out by contractors when required.
Support buildings include a 3 bay gable implement shed for calf rearing and storage and a colonial barn.
Fencing is permanent on the boundaries with two and three wire electric internals.
The dwelling is of brick construction with three bedrooms and open plan living/dining. There is a double garage adjacent with outside room including shower and toilet.
With the location and size, the opportunity for a great number of different activities on this property certainly makes it worth consideration as these sized units are becoming hard to find.
Grazing, cropping, dairying or a great support block - your choice.
