Price by Negotiation

This impressive 958ha North Canterbury property has been developed and transformed from a traditional sheep breeding unit to a higher producing finishing unit. This has been achieved principally with the establishment of irrigation with good consent rights and the development of increasing dry-matter-producing pastures and lucerne paddocks. This has also been aided by increased fencing, access development, better water supply and fertiliser and lime application.

While the farming model of recent times has not been traditional, with a large lamb-fattening policy, dairy heifer rearing and support, a heifer export programme and beef cattle fattening, the property could now, with the new development, return to a very successful breeding and fattening operation.

The property is supported by a four-bedroom homestead, four-stand flat-board woolshed with covered yards, sheep yards, six-bay implement shed, workshop/implement shed with granary, five hay sheds, covered cattle yards, another set of cattle yards, super bin and 100 tonne silo.

Approximately 152 hectares are irrigated by a pivot, gun and sprinklers.

A very well-balanced breeding and finishing property.
