Quality irrigated dairy farm

Situated amongst some of the Eastern Bay of Plenty's most productive and best performing dairy farms, this 61.5144 hectare (more or less) fully irrigated property has clearly had a silver spoon start.
Infrastructure here is top quality and is certainly set up for some time to come. Cows are milked through a modern very well maintained 36-aside cowshed with automatic cup removers. A concrete feed pad neighbours the cowshed yard and easily accommodates all the cows even if a new owner decided to intensify.
The farm is well subdivided into 31 paddocks all featuring good, reticulated Council water, the contour is completely flat and has a good network of surface drains, no risk of flooding here. Water is pumped from the nearby Tarawera River for irrigation through a K-Line system with high capacity which is more than adequate. A half round barn with attached lean-to is well set up for calf rearing with good pens and a calf load-out ramp.
Accommodation is provided by two three-bedroom homes. The original farm homestead is weatherboard with timber joinery and an iron roof, supported by a double car garage with a well established garden, mature trees and a fully fenced section. The second staff house is situated near the cowshed, has an attached carport, log fire and a great outlook over the farm.
With some neighbouring properties already in horticulture, and we have water, potential is here for diversification.
Otakiri School is just across the road, and it is only a 20 minute drive to Whakatane and 10 minutes to the beach. The Eastern Bay of Plenty's mild coastal climate and regular rainfall would make it very hard to find a farm investment that is any better.
