High Quality Dairy Unit in Top Location

This 98 hectare dairy farm just north of Hamilton at Redbrook is the real deal. The property is a credit to the owners who have taken every step to ensure the farm is both very appealing with its layout and structure and easy to manage in its operational capacity. Located right beside the Hukanui Golf Course and about fifteen minutes' drive from Chartwell and The Base it would be hard to fault.\nThe property is all flat with a wide central race system to around 50 paddocks. The 32 aside dairyshed has a Waikato loopline milking plant with electronic pulsators and an in-shed auto meal feeding system connected to three silos and a hammermill to crush grain and pellets. Around 315 cows are milked currently with 108,243 Fonterra Shares which will be included in the sale.\nA large purpose built calf rearing shed, with capacity for 150 calves, and a number of support buildings adjacent to the dairy provide storage. Adjacent to the second dwelling, which is currently rented, is a large lockable implement shed and workshop with multiple access doors and concrete floor plus a covered fert/PKE bunker and a 6 bay calf-rearing and implement shed and cattle yards. A 3 bay half round barn in the centre of the farm is used for hay with a silage bunker adjacent to the race. There is ample implement and supplement storage capacity all in good order.\nThe water is sourced from a shallow bore and pumped to two manacon tanks then pressure reticulated to the dairyshed and around the farm via a 40mm mainline with hi-flow values in troughs in all paddocks. \nSilage and hay are made on the property with brought in supplement being PKE and a meal mix or grain maize which is crushed by the hammermill for in-shed feeding. Eight to ten hectares of turnips are grown annually as a green feed summer crop. Some under-sowing is also done on an annual basis.\nEffluent is by gravity to two ponds which are normally pumped out and irrigated over the farm twice a year.\nThe property features a number of well-considered plantings of natives and scrubs as well as two duck ponds. Much care has been taken to ensure the aesthetics, environmental impact and quality of a harmonious relationship with neighbours and tourists is guaranteed as the farm has a long main road frontage. \nThe fencing is a mix of 2 and 5 wire electric, 7 wire post and batten plus post and rail and is all in excellent order as are the pastures which are strong, healthy and clean.\nThe main home has three bedrooms and enjoys an elevated position over much of the property. The second home has three bedrooms with a large lounge and conservatory plus double garage. \nThis is a fantastic opportunity to purchase an extremely well set up and presented dairy unit in a great location with little or no capital improvements required with the sellers moving out of the area to where their new business ventures are taking them.\nTop location, main road access, huge visual appeal, easy to manage - hard to fault.\n
