"Island Farm" is a versatile family farm of 107.9224 hectares (more or less) located on the outskirts of Oxford and is reluctantly offered for sale after approximately 140 years in this family's ownership.

Bisected by Sladdens Farm Road, the property is in three titles with excellent road frontages. There is a versatile mix of productive and complementary soil types, and the property is well subdivided with easy access to the majority of paddocks from laneways and Sladdens Farm Road itself. A substantial amount of deciduous tree planting creates an aesthetically pleasing and animal friendly environment with great shade and shelter.

This farm had been run as a dairy unit up until 2006/07 milking approximately 250 cows when land use changed to dairy support and more recently beef breeding and finishing. A range of older buildings provide the basics, a large haybarn the necessary storage and an old 18-aside herringbone dairy.

The two homes on the property comprise the main homestead which was the original dwelling on the farm plus a second home of four bedrooms that has a large floor area, is north facing and has been rented up until this autumn but needs renovation.

This property has a spray irrigation system with underground mainline delivering water from travelling gun irrigators. Water supply is from two wells on the property, one close to the main homestead and the other on a separate title. One of these wells has just had its consent to take water renewed in 2025. A land use consent for farming has recently been issued.

Nearby Oxford township provides all the necessary services, shops, plus schooling and is located in the fast-growing Waimakariri District which is seen as an increasingly popular and progressive place to live and farm. Investigate the potential for a more intensive farming system or alternatively consider more relaxed farming or lifestyle options - there is a range of choices for the astute buyer.

The sale of a treasured farm is not easy after such a long period of ownership but the retiring family is keen to see a new owner add to the history and make their mark on this property. Early settlement is available.
