Once in a generation sheep and beef opportunity

Rarely does an opportunity present itself to purchase such a superbly maintained and faithfully farmed large scale sheep and beef farm.
Kokonga is the home of the highly regarded Kokonga Hereford Stud which comprises 160 m/a stud cows plus replacements. The property additionally runs 4,300 m/a ewes and buys in circa 650 18-mth steers annually with all lambs and cattle finished on the farm.
The property was originally two fully functioning farms which have been amalgamated into a total landholding of 1,296ha. Operated efficiently as one large block with an interconnecting laneway system, the properties have been maintained in two self-sufficient blocks in case a new owner wishes to operate them independently. Each farm block has two implement sheds, a woolshed, night pens, covered yards and multiple satellite sheep and cattle yards.
The rolling to easy contour with long fertiliser history ensures quality pastures all year round with the property superbly raced and fenced. Excellent limestone soils with ash soils on the flatter areas potentially lend themselves to higher intensity land uses. The farm also enjoys a 65ha QEII covenant block of stunning native bush. With an on farm head shepherd willing to remain if required, this is essentially a turn-key operation with potential upside.
There are four well kept dwellings on the property to comfortably suit an owner, manager and support staff, an executive style main home with views to the coast, a brand new three bed home, a two storeyed character home and fourth well maintained residence.
Kokonga offers compelling recreational options with deerstalking and pig hunting on the doorstep and boating and fishing a short drive away. Hamilton is 90km to the south and Auckland 110km heading north.
Kokonga is a once in a generation opportunity to buy land with scale in the reputable Waikaretu Valley. An impressive farm that has been farmed faithfully, yet conservatively, and is now ready for a new owner to optimise its potential.
