Here is an opportunity to purchase a highly profitable, 160-hectare (more or less) dairy farm currently supplying Open Country Dairy. Add to this the option to customise with three additional leases: expand your platform with 62ha near the shed, 54ha for a run-off right next door, or 70ha over the Puriri Stream for a cut and carry block or additional milking platform.
The current milking platform is around 300 hectares and produced 290,000kgMS last season - with what is on offer there is the opportunity for huge production without the capital investment which is usually required. Key infrastructure includes a well-spec'd 44 bail rotary shed with an in-shed feeding system and feed pad, effluent solution with two ponds, a solids separator, and k-line pods which can spread over 40ha, and large array of shedding.
Water on the farm is currently supplied by a dam, located on one of the lease blocks, if the lease isn't for you then the farm will be set up with a metered council connection before takeover. The farm is flat to easy in contour with soils being a mixture of sought-after Waihi ash, clay loam, and river silt loams.
The housing comprises a solid, four-bedroom home that has had recent renovations making it very comfortable. Additional accommodation can be found in a three-bedroom home with privacy from the main home, and an additional one-bedroom self-contained cottage.
The location is ideal, offering rural seclusion, but shops and services only 16.7km away in Thames. Paeroa is your second closest servicing town which is also within a handy commute. Locally the area is humming with activities for the whole family such as cycling the Hauraki Rail Trail, walking tracks, and numerous bush trails.
Great farm, excellent options to lease further land, and a central location make this farm a must-see. Our owners will sell this Spring and are setting themselves up to travel. Pick up the phone and come have a look.
