'Whinfields' - Finishing and Cropping

Centrally located close to Rangiora and Christchurch, this productive farm comprising 128.7574 hectares, offers multiple farming options. Formerly a working dairy farm milking 320 cows until 2006, the property has been utilised as a beef finishing unit in recent years along with arable cropping featuring wheat, barley, peas and red clover on the rich fertile soils. A generous irrigation consent is a large bonus with most of the farm being able to be irrigated. Paddock subdivision is well planned with central lanes.
The property features two dwellings, the main is a four-bedroom home, three with built-in wardrobes, one bathroom with handbasin, shower and bath, a separate toilet and the laundry is located in the porch area. Its exterior is aluminium sheathing, with baked enamel, and a decramastic tile roof. A large deck on the northern side of the house provides ample outside living space.
The original home on the property was built in approximately 1931. The weatherboard home with an iron roof comprises two bedrooms plus an enclosed sun porch. Features include the kitchen / dining area, walk-in pantry plus built-in kitchen furniture, separate lounge with log fire, heat pump in hall, bathroom with shower and toilet, and a wash house area.
There is a selection of good farm buildings plus substantial cattle yards. These features combined with the property's versatility, offers purchasers a rare chance to acquire a large parcel of land, not only as an ongoing productive working farm but also as a substantial landbank in a very tightly held area.
