Ideally located near Christchurch and within the sought-after farming region of Irwell, this highly productive and intensively farmed property boasts versatile land use capabilities. It is offered for genuine sale with the strong option to purchase separate land parcels or the entire property.
• Land and infrastructure parcel - 53.1337ha
• Bare land parcel - 54.9221ha
• Total property - 108.0558ha
A current environmental report is available which indicates 54ha may be used for dairy support and an area up to 50ha may be used for intensive winter grazing on a forage crop. The property also has a current consent to farm.
The reliable and low-cost irrigation water supply enables the farm to be fully irrigated from two separate wells via two travelling irrigators, therefore enabling the property to be sold in two parcels as an option. There are also two separate wells for livestock water.
Located outside the CLVMA area, the property boasts deep, fertile soils and a temperate climate. These support the successful farming of a wide range of crops while also making it ideal for dairy grazing and finishing cattle and sheep. The property is also ideally suited for a 'cut and carry' operation for baleage/silage/hay to complement another existing farm.
This season, barley, wheat, peas, and linseed are being grown. Premium milling wheat is supplied to Champion Flour Mills and in 2023 won a premium prize for quality. All crops are well-fertilised in line with modern farming practices.
Farm infrastructure includes a large grain storage shed approximately 12m deep x 33m wide (396sqm), an original three-bay shed with slider door extended with a large end bay with an electric roller door. Powered by solar panels. The property is divided into nine main paddocks with well-maintained fencing, consisting mostly of traditional post and netting.
In summary, the sale of this property provides a rare opportunity to purchase an outstanding high-producing dairy support/finishing and cropping farm. With a rateable value of $4.24M, our vendors are prepared to negotiate with all reasonable offers on their merit.
