156 Front Miranda Road, Waitakaruru, Hauraki

Coastal-rural living meets efficient dairy farming

Set across 119.47 hectares (subject to survey) of flat marine clay soils, this productive dairy property combines scale, infrastructure and consistent output in the heart of the Hauraki Plains.

This well-presented dairy farm is divided into 36 paddocks. Currently milking 350 cows producing an average of 136,000kgMS over the past two seasons for Fonterra. Council water supplies the house and plant wash with a reliable bore supplying the balance of the farm requirements, supported by 40-50mm mains lines. Effluent is well managed leading to a weeping wall, with fluids directed to a clay-lined pond (drop test passed 2024) and solids spread on crop paddocks. Infrastructure includes a 44-bail rotary cowshed with 400-cow yard, four-bay implement shed, haybarn, calf shed, and functional yards with a loading race, enabling efficient operations.

The 200sqm (approx.) homestead was upgraded with a new Coloursteel roof in 2025 and features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with wooden floors and two heat pumps. It offers three bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms, a mudroom, and good storage. A converted garage provides extra self-contained accommodation.

Located in the heart of Waitakaruru, you'll find a well-regarded primary school nearby, and the property is zoned for Hauraki Plains College in Ngatea—just a 14-kilometre drive away. Ngatea itself caters to most daily needs, offering excellent sporting facilities, a Four Square supermarket, and a selection of great cafés. For a wider range of amenities, Thames is only 12 kilometres further. Under and hour to Hamilton and just a 79 kilometre drive from Auckland Airport, this property seems a world away, and yet so close to New Zealand's largest commercial centre.

With scale, strong production, quality improvements and a central location, this is a farm that delivers efficiency today with scope for the future.
