Dairy farm at grazing prices

Here is an opportunity to step in and start producing on this 130-hectare (more or less) dairy farm in seven titles with the possibility to lease an additional 13.8 hectares through a stop bank lease.

What is on offer here is the opportunity for additional production without the capital investment that is usually required. For the 2022/2023 season, the farm supplied Fonterra with 103,177kgMS milking 315 dairy cows. Key infrastructure includes a well-spec'd 36 ASHB shed including the option to easily increase the number of cups with 400 cow yard. Other infrastructure includes 3 implement sheds, 2 steel portal haybarns and various calf sheds.

The property has fertile Hauraki marine clay soils. Soil tests available to complement the fertiliser and lime program. Of the dairy platform there is approximately 26 ha available for effluent irrigation, pumping directly from the effluent pond.

With the farm currently having a metered town supply, and three storage tanks, there is plenty of water for stock in the warmer summer months. The farm is flat in contour with some hump and hollow with the soil being a mixture of Hauraki silt loam and marine clay.

The housing comprises a solid, five-bedroom home with plenty of storage and an additional detached room.

The location is ideal, offering rural seclusion with schools, shops, and services only 14.2km away in Thames. Paeroa is your second closest servicing town which is also within a handy commute. Schooling for the young ones can be found in Ngatea at Hauraki Plains College. Locally the area is humming with activities for the whole family such as cycling the Hauraki Rail Trail, walking tracks, and numerous bush trails.

With the contract milker finishing up at the end of the season our owners are exiting the industry and are prepared to meet the market. This is a great farm and needs to be on the shopping list for summer. Call today for more information.
