'Auchtercairn' is an absolutely outstanding dairy farm located 1.6km north of Culverden, which is part of the Amuri Basin, one of New Zealand's premier dairying areas for production.
In the same family ownership for over 100 years, and consisting of 247.0801 hectares, the property was converted to dairying in 2014. With the same share-milking farming family since then, the property has been developed into one of Canterbury's best farms, with a very high standard of pasture, paddock subdivision, modern irrigation, stock water systems and farm infrastructure. There are four modern dwellings and one older cottage.
Irrigation water is supplied to the property, as part of the Amuri Irrigation Company Ltd and incorporates both pivot and fixed grid. Stock water is supplied from a bore with large troughs per every three hectares.
Paddock subdivision and laneways are a feature.
The high specification 60-bail rotary dairy shed with large yard is centrally located with new calf shed and other support buildings nearby.
The current owner's house is a large modern four-bedroom home built by a local builder, with another four-bedroom and two three-bedroom homes - all 'Stonewood' homes. The older cottage is in good condition also.
Full environmental reports are available.
In summary, an excellent farm, with strong aesthetic qualities, now made available to purchase by our retiring vendor. It comes with our highest recommendation.
