Productive Unit in a Top Location

This 94 hectare dairy near Matamata is a quality unit. The all flat contour is evenly divided into 73 paddocks with a centrally located automated 44 bale rotary dairy as its hub.

The dairy is an eight year old Don Chapman shed with ACR's and computerised with auto draft weighing and teat spray. A number of covered bunkers are used for supplement storage as well as a large pad for maize. Adjacent to the dairy is a 500 cow concrete feed pad flows into the dairy shed.

Currently running a system five feed regime with around 450 cows milked in a split calving - 100 in autumn and the balance of 350 in the spring. A number of carry over cows are also farmed as well as R1 and R2's. Production over the past three seasons has been consistent around 262,000 milk solids.

A second concrete feed pad is sited near the large effluent storage pond. The effluent is spread via 90mm underground piping with a good number of hydrants to cover much of the farm. With the amount of effluent returned to the land the need for chemical fertiliser is lessened.

Four main races provide direct access to all paddocks which range mostly from 1-1.25 hectares each. The fencing is a mix of permanent and hedge on the boundary with internals being mostly 2-3 wire electric. The fencing and races are in good order.

Water is sourced from two bores - one supplying the dairy shed and the other most of the stock water. There are troughs in each paddock with most having large inlets for high flow rates.
A good array of support buildings are located at the front of the farm centred around a disused dairy shed.

The property has three houses with the main dwelling a spacious two level Hinuera Stone home with five bedrooms, two bathrooms plus large open plan kitchen, dining, formal lounge and gathering area. Three car garaging is attached to the home which is set in private yet easy care surrounds. The second dwelling is a new three bedroom Versatile home with a double garage adjacent. The third is an older three bedroom weatherboard home near the front of the property.

Located on Mowbray Road this extremely well appointed unit will be sold land and buildings with all stock and plant available as the sellers are taking a new direction in life.

Quality units in prime locations may cost a tad more however they are generally cheaper to operate and hold their value in any market. This property is definitely worthy of your inspection.
