Oporua Drystock - fertile irrigated silts
When it comes to premium Wairarapa property, it doesn't come much better than Oporua Drystock farm, with quality silts irrigated by centre pivot across an ideal footprint.
Quality soils, water and infrastructure makes Oporua Drystock one of the best drystock propositions to come to the market in the South Wairarapa in a very long time. The fertile Matapihi silt loams are matched by the valuable rolling sandhills of approximately 16 hectares allowing for the management of heavy cattle, and optimal production across these fertile soils. Currently operating as a highly productive runoff and support unit, growing maize, kale and lucerne. Developed to a high standard, well fenced and fertilised over many years, with an excellent reticulated water system.
Fitting the farm boundaries perfectly, the 11-span Variable Rate centre pivot draws water from a reliable bore with consent irrigating 120 hectares and guaranteeing performance in this traditionally hot and dry summer climate.
South Wairarapa is big on community, with Oporua positioned between that of Kahutara and Pirinoa, a strong farming area dominant in dairy, arable and sheep and beef.
Oporua Drystock is marketed for sale in conjunction with the Oporua Dairy operation of 189.2 hectares, located just 2 kilometers further south down Kahutara Road.
