Grass Only Farm

This 82 hectare dairy near Te Aroha is a traditional Kiwi farm. With no purchased supplement and production to 90,000 milk solids suggests the property must be a good unit, with 260 cows being milked, and priced to sell at just $4,750,000 + GST (if any).
The all flat contour is a mix of silt and sandy loam soils providing for a fertile environment.
A good 30 aside dairy is located near the front of the farm with the central race system farming out to 48 paddocks.
The fencing is a mix of permanent, electric and hedging on the boundary and 2-5 wire electric internally.
The water is sourced from an artesian well and pumped through a magnesium filtration system and pressure fed around the farm through a 32mm alkathene mainline. There are troughs in each paddock with an in-line dispenser at the dairyshed. The main home is fed from the farm supply. Variation 6 has been applied for from the Regional Authority.
Adjacent to the dairyshed is a 12x7m gable shed. Near the main home is an 18x12m fully enclosed lockable shed with three phase power and concrete floor. Other shedding includes a new 25x9m steel portal gable shed, calf shed and hay barn.
The effluent system comprises a stone trap then pumped to two ponds from where it is pumped (15HP) to a travelling irrigator covering approximately 17 hectares. There is around 1km of 90mm underground piping with hydrants plus a 10HP stirrer in the pond.
This property is run on a grass system only and supplements used are only those grown on the farm.
The main home is an older bungalow, in reasonable condition, set amongst some beautiful century old oaks. The home is spacious with four or five bedrooms, has an in-set Kent fire and two heat pumps plus two car garaging in carport. The second dwelling has three bedrooms and is constructed of Hinuera Stone and brick with an in-set Kent fire and HRV transfer system plus carport. This home is on rain water for domestic supply.
The main block of 65 hectares, with the entire farm infrastructure, is on the northern side of the road and the balance of 17 hectares and the second home is on the southern side of this very quiet side road.
The setting amongst the century old oaks is pleasant, peaceful and quiet. The sellers have priced this property at $4,750,000 + GST (if any) to facilitate an early sale to enable them to move onto another project. This farm is an honest easy to manage unit in a great location with the ability to really move if desired.
