Award winning dairy

This 109 hectare dairy unit has won multiple farming awards and has a lot to offer the new buyer.

Kaihere is recognised as a premium address in the Hauraki area, with naturally fertile peat and clay based soils. Contour of the farm is 77% flat with the balance rolling hill country.

Annually 30 hectares of grass silage and 6 hectares of maize are made on farm with 100-150 tonne of palm kernel purchased last season. A good race system runs out to all 68 paddocks with the fencing being a mix of permanent and 1-2 strand on the boundaries and mostly 2-3 wire electric internally. Water for the farm and dairy shed is sourced from a bore supply with a secondary supply being the Kaihere Stream. The support buildings include a multiple implement/calf sheds, plus a decommissioned cowshed used as storage. A concrete floored fert/PK bin and feed pad are other functional additions. Effluent is spread over approximately 60 hectares with a spyder irrigator.

The property has two very good dwellings with the main brick clad home being spacious with six bedrooms, ensuite and open plan living. Aluminium joinery, two heat pumps and a double garage complete this tidy package. The second home is a modest three bedroom.

A mere 14 kilometre drive to Ngatea township, the properties location accessed via State Highway 27 and frontage on Kaihere Road is strategic for quality schooling, everyday farming needs and access to city centres.
