Dairy Farm - Bay of Plenty


Open Days:\nTuesdays 27 January, 3 February and 10 February 2015\n\nLocated in the popular Western Bay of Plenty, a short drive from the township of Katikati, this 78 hectare (freehold) dairy farm is offered to the open market by way of auction. \n\nWith a three year production average of 81,436 milk solids and, due to a change in management practice, a forecast of 90,000 milk solids for this current season there remains potential to improve by adding your own management skills.\n\nThe 240 cows including IC heifers are wintered on the farm, with the calves which are reared on whole milk (including some Jersey bulls calves) carried on farm until the start of May. \n\nContour is flat to rolling and there is a good balance of lower land for summer production. \n\nThe 24 aside herringbone shed is centrally located and there is ample shedding including a round barn next to the cowshed used for calf rearing and two round barns near the home for plant and implement storage. The concrete feed pad allows for optimal utilization of brought in feed. \n\nAn adjoining lease block of some 9 effective hectares has added to this unit over the years.\n\nFor diversity there is an estimated 24 hectares of horticultural land which could be developed; this has occurred on neighbouring property. \n\nIf location is important this farm is some 8km to Katikati and only 27km to Tauranga CBD. You are a short drive to the Katikati golf course with many leisure amenities including fishing and boating at your doorstep. \n\nLocation\nFew regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter 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.\n\nKey economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.\n\nTauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. \n\nWith a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city; it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Bay of Plenty is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.\n\n
