1477D Piako Road, Morrinsville, Matamata-Piako

Great value opportunity

This 128 hectare (more or less) dairy unit between Morrinsville and Hamilton is a low cost production unit. This all flat consolidated peat loam farm is currently milking approximately 420 cows with production to 145,000kgMS.
It is run on a very minimal input of supplements - approximately 300kg/DM per cow. The 36ASHB, with ACR's, is well located with all support buildings and infrastructure handy to the dairy.
Along with the cup removers, the shed has Reid slide pulsators, ice bank and double bank plate cooler. A comprehensive effluent system includes store trap, solid separation and a large Flexitank storage bladder. Effluent may be pumped straight to a travelling cannon covering approximately 41 hectares, or straight to the bladder. Rain diverters are in place.
The property is well raced to all 42 paddocks with fencing being 1 & 2 wire electric.
The water system comprises a rainwater catchment facility and bore water for the dairy and farm. The water is treated with a Temple filtration system and pumped via 50mm and 40mm mainlines down to 25mm and 20mm laterals to troughs. There is a water bore monitoring system to assist in water movement and leak detection.
The property has two houses with the main dwelling being a spacious split level four-bedroom home with open plan kitchen, dining and living, with great views over most of the farm. A double garage with internal access is part of the house.
The second dwelling has three bedrooms, open plan kitchen and dining with a separate lounge, heat pump and wood burner. A double garage is adjacent to the dwelling.
This excellent and great value opportunity is currently run by a very good sharemilker in conjunction with an adjoining 105 hectare (more or less) dairy (same owners) which is also for sale so over the years there has been some interaction between the farms in stock and management movements. This unit/these units have very good infrastructure and are just waiting to be taken to the next level.
Definitely a great opportunity and well worth a visit.
