Irrigation, Location, Scale

For Sale - Price by Negotiation

Glenellen is a 510 hectare property within which is a recent dairy conversion thus providing an outstanding opportunity to secure an irrigated farm of rare scale. This property will therefore be well sought-after due to its location in the popular Oxford dairying area of the Waimakariri district and yet within an easy drive of Christchurch.

First converted to dairying for the 2012/13 season this property has a history of intensive finishing under irrigation for approximately twelve years prior. Its shape allows three pivot irrigators to operate across a generally flat contour with a simple farm layout and good internal access. The milking platform of 220 ha will milk 750 cows in 2014/15, through a 60 bail rotary shed with another 84 ha title leased out and milked off by a neighbouring business.

Consented discharge permit may provide further potential. A large shareholding in a community irrigation scheme ensures this property has options to optimise its land and water resources with construction of on farm water storage also a possibility. With plentiful staff housing and proximity to local towns this location provides many advantages. Consider your options to optimise the mix of land and water resources that this property presents.

A rare combination of scale and irrigation so act to secure.
