An exceptional opportunity to secure a farming business in a well-regarded area with a made to order balance of soil types. Two thirds of the farm consists of unpuggable volcanic soils suited to high performance in the strategic winter months and one third being of a more clay-based structure, all cultivatable, or mowable, that can be leaned on more during any drier periods of the year.

This farm is well suited to the vendors current management policy of buying in top quality, mostly exotic cross weaner bulls, growing them out and aiming to have them gone at carcass weights in excess of 340kgs, before the following years weaner fairs.

In the interest of keeping the workload down and stock shifts to 3 part days a week, the winter carrying levels are now around 160hd.

Also features a wide selection of attractive house sites with some exceptional, both rural and lake views, on both titles.

Heavy applications of total fert, the easy contour of the farm, good subdivision and a strong spring water supply all help to underpin the production on this consistently good performing farm. A great farm making better returns than many farms twice its size which can be purchased in two separate titles.

This farm could equally well handle a swap out of the bulls for dairy heifers or become an excellent dairy farmers run off.

Easy to run, easy on the eye, easy to buy!
