The availability of this 108 hectare, 400-cow-plus dairy farm, is an exceptional opportunity to add to, or to get started in, the dairy industry in Central Canterbury.

A great shape, centre pivots, modern building and infrastructure, excellent C.P.W. water and high-producing, top-grade pastures, all contribute to a very successful operation.

Farming off an effective area of 103ha irrigated, the A2 produced milk for the 2016/17 season was 172,956kgMS to factory, being 1,679kgMS/ha, through a 40-a-side herringbone dairy, with a 450-cow yard. Cows are wintered-off-farm for eight weeks, locally.

The homestead is new and there is additional accommodation in a recently converted woolshed, into a modern, two-bedroom unit.

This is a fantastic first farm or an adjunct to a larger farming operation, providing diversity. It is in a great location, close to Darfield with schools, sports clubs and amenities, in one of Canterbury's best-regarded farming areas.
