Lake Karapiro on your boundary

This nicely laid out 139 hectare (more or less) dairy unit (approximately 120 hectares effective) between Matamata and Cambridge, in Karapiro, is in four titles and has desire written all over it.
The mostly gentle contour of sandy and ash soils has a great array of specimen trees and plantings on wetter or steeper areas giving aesthetic appeal and shows a desire to be environmentally responsible.
Supplying the Synlait Dairy Company, with a sharemilker in place, the farm is milking 400 cows with calves off from November. Production average over the past three seasons of 194,000kg of milk solids.
The well-located dairy shed has 36 sets of cups, with capacity for 44, and in-shed meal feeders. Adjacent to the dairy is a concrete feed pad with two large concrete silage bunkers and a large concrete loading area in front. Numerous support buildings for calf rearing and machinery storage are near the working hub.
Effluent from the dairy and feed pad are contained in a lined pond or irrigated directly onto the pastures via hydrants and a travelling irrigator.
Water is sourced from a bore (108m) and reticulated around the farm and to the dairy via 32 and 25mm alkathene mainlines.
Supplements made on farm include maize, grass silage and chicory. Purchased supplements include grain, PKE and kiwifruit.
There are four dwellings on the property ranging from a five bedroom main home with open plan living, a sharemilkers home of four bedrooms with open plan living, a third dwelling near the roadside on a separate small title and a fully self-contained one bedroom unit.
The fencing is mostly 3 wire electric with permanent on the boundaries and some hedges.
This is a very good unit in a great location with excellent soil types and a very good set up.
After twenty years the Vendor has made the decision to move on, thus providing the new owner a great investment as it has for the current.
