First farm, support block or portfolio addition

The vendors' decision to sell their 80-hectare (STS) dairy farm creates an excellent opportunity - whether as an ideal first farm or a valuable addition to an existing farming portfolio. Not only a perfect first farm but also well-suited for quality dairy support, this property provides scope to produce supplementary feed and grow your future herd.

The farm features a desirable balance of flat to gently undulating contour, fertile soils, extensive infrastructure, and a proven history of solid production. Currently milking 200 spring-calving cows, achieving production levels up to 70,728 kgMS, with the support of 13 hectares of neighbouring land.

An additional income stream is generated through the rearing of 600 bull calves annually under contract to 100 kilograms. This operation is well supported by a purpose-built 52m x 20m calf-rearing barn. Other key infrastructure includes a 16-aside herringbone dairy shed with adjoining concrete feed pad and bunker, a compliant effluent system, a two-bay workshop with concrete floor and power, plus four-bay and seven-bay implement sheds providing excellent storage and additional calf-rearing capacity.

The farm is well subdivided into approximately 46 paddocks, linked by a good race system. Six hectares of chicory are planted annually, supplying quality feed while forming part of the re-grassing and pasture renewal programme. Regular fertiliser applications, based on soil testing, ensure strong and healthy pastures across the property.

Accommodation is provided by a spacious and well-presented four-bedroom weatherboard homestead. The home features generous living areas, a separate office, a recently renovated family bathroom, two separate toilets, and internally accessed double garaging.

Situated in the popular farming district of Okauia, just 8km from Matamata and handy to both Morrinsville and Te Aroha, the property also benefits from a strong lifestyle component. Nearby attractions include the Matamata Golf Course, Opal Hot Springs, the Hauraki Rail Trail, and Wairere Falls - all just minutes away, adding to the propert's appeal.
