Rarely do expansive flat land parcels, capable of dry stock fattening or continued dairy come to market on the East Coast.
This hugely desirably contoured property totaling 590 hectares (over 300 hectares being flat land) includes a water take consent, whereby irrigation may be an option. The favourable 1400mm spread of annual rainfall paired with mild winters itself presents good production attributes.
The two platforms (288 hectares in total) are complemented by additional flat cropping land and approximately 170 hectares of medium to steep hill country, an ideal run off, or alternatively a separate proposition for buyers.
Previously milking up to 1,200 cows, but more recently reducing numbers to 800 through the automated 44 bail rotary cowshed with protrack technology with this year's numbers further reduced. The dairy operation began in 2000, infrastructure is of a good standard and includes a lined effluent pond, feed bunkers, silage pit and water and irrigation systems. Assisting the dairy infrastructure is a range of good sheds, including previous dry stock facilities, whilst fertility throughout the farm is excellent. Three sturdy homes provide good on-farm accommodation, or options to subdivide if surplus to requirement.
Located in Mahia, 75 kilometres south of Gisborne, Pahnui enjoys its own golden sand coastal frontage, in this appealing Northern Hawke's Bay destination, providing the perfect mix of work and recreation.
