Central Canterbury dairy unit
Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Tue 8 Dec 2026
Situated in the heart of Central Canterbury's prime dairy area, the 'Fairfax One' 257-hectare (more or less) dairy farm, owned by Fairfax Stonehouse Limited, is backed by a proven legacy of high performance and consistent production. Every inch of the property has been meticulously maintained and cared for, with a continuous programme of structural and operational upgrades over the years, ensuring an immaculate dairy asset with no surprises.
An excellent shape with a centrally located 60-bail rotary shed complete with in-shed feeding, Protrack and auto cup removers, complemented by a full array of calf sheds and lock-up workshops all provide for ease of management.
Irrigation is provided from the Central Plains Water Scheme with three pivots covering approximately 210 hectares and the balance is covered via Rotorainer and sprinklers. Production history has been strong, with production budgeted for the 26/27 season of approximately 460,000kgMS from approximately 950 cows at peak milking.
Five homes are well positioned on the farm, all in very good condition, with all but the one-bedroom cottage having their own section and grounds providing an aesthetically pleasing home environment. The three-bedroom manager's home is surrounded by mature specimen trees and offers views over the farm through to the Alps in the distance.
An A-grade audit is in place, as is the strong future this property provides for a new owner who can step in and operate a quality dairy asset in one of New Zealand's most well-regarded farming areas.
