'Leebrook' is a fully diversified 156ha property at Waiau, boasting good productive soils, supported by reasonable annual rainfall and irrigation to about 68% of the total area, with a centre pivot and Ocmis gun. The irrigation consent allows for a take of 60 litres per second to irrigate up to 110ha.
Since purchase of the property, due to limited stock options and a desire for increased pasture quality, the Vendor has grown considerable areas of crop, resulting in virtually the whole property being re-grassed in the last three years. Considerable effort and investment has been made to boost fertility, with high applications of fertiliser and lime, resulting in outstanding highly-productive pastures. Current farming policy is dairy grazing and some sheep grazing.
Improvements are provided to meet most farm policy options and are of a high standard. These include good sheds, new cattle yards and a four-bedroom, double-storey Oamaru stone home in a landscaped garden setting with mature trees, large lawns and great views of the property and surrounds.
A very productive and attractive property.
