A change of farming practice has presented you with the opportunity to get your foot into dairy farm ownership. Here for sale is 148ha (approximate) freehold along with a further 20ha of DOC land set up and fenced into 25 paddocks well serviced by laneways and two water troughs in most paddocks.
Back in the yard is a 30 aside herringbone shed and yards with a Read milking plant along with a seven-bay calf shed which also doubles for machinery storage.
The owner's house is a three-bedroom Lockwood style home approximately 25-30 years old all of which are located on a sealed road near the end of the valley approximately 40 minutes south of Hokitika. There may also be the opportunity to purchase a second cottage on its own title if required.
Production on this property is above average and results of a full season milking 280 cows resulted in 110,000kg MS delivered to the factory. With regular re-grassing, this farm would be a showstopper. Daily October 2022 figures are sitting at 396kg MS per cow.
This is a perfect starter farm or would complement a larger property. Viewings by appointment only.
