Standalone calf rearing farm in Matamau

Set in the sought-after Matamau district, 10 minutes from Dannevirke this exceptional 30 hectare standalone property is a complete farming unit with everything in place and ready to go.
Boasting excellent infrastructure, the property features a four-bay walk-through milking shed, three and four - bay calf rearing sheds, well-designed cattle yards, and smaller yards specifically for handling calves. The sheltered young stock paddocks are ideally located near the rearing sheds, each equipped with its own water supply and shelter shed—ensuring your animals are protected from the elements.
The farm layout has been thoughtfully planned, with a central laneway allowing for easy stock movement, and a mix of internal electric and conventional boundary fencing offering security and flexibility. With 32 main paddocks plus 7 smaller ones, this unit provides optimal pasture management.

Recently repainted, the home is fresh and tidy, with a handy boot room connecting to a double garage offering ample storage.
Currently, the owners milk 30 cows, feeding fresh milk to around 150 calves at a time. Their successful system rears 150 calves in August and another 150 in March, selling them at 90kg.
A reliable reticulated water system services the farm, and additional outbuildings include a 3-bay shed and other utility sheds—completing this impressive, well-rounded property.
