Great Scale; Great Potential; Great Dairy Farm

173 effective hectares with 138,139 Fonterra shares, three homes, a
nine year old 50 bale rotary dairy shed and a very short drive to
fishing and diving spots; the complete dairy farm package. Located
in the Western Bay of Plenty a dairy farm of this scale is not a
common occurrence and it would be hard to find a better property in
this market. The dairy shed is all quality with automatic cup
removers allowing one man to milk plus the water supply was upgrade
in recent years. A four bedroom main homestead has the prime
position with three bedroom and two bedroom homes providing great
accommodation for staff. Being well raced, access around the
property is easy with good stock flows and ease of movement should
you wish to run a split herd system. An on farm supply of pumice
provides good quality race material. The water supply has been
upgraded in recent years with a 60mm mainline to most paddocks. A
summer crop of turnips plus maize is grown to support the
operation. Contour is a good mix of flat to rolling with some
sidlings. Great location and a quality farm ready for the new
owner.

Location

Few regions in New Zealand or the world have
as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour
waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the
scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as
it is a thriving business and rural community.
Key economic
elements for the region include dairy farming, tourism,
horticulture (predominantly Kiwifruit and Avocado production),
Viticulture, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. In the heart of
the Bay of Plenty and 30 minutes from the rural service town of Te
Puke on the road to Whakatane you will find Otamarakau Valley Road.
An area that has seen large diversification over the last decade
with areas converted to kiwifruit and huge dairy production
increases, this farm enjoys location. The farm is located 6km up
Otamarakau Valley Road.
