Originally all the farm buildings were situated in close proximity to the Mangapapa Stream overlooking the native bush and limestone bluffs.
It was a small thriving settlement including - several houses, woolshed, cowshed (milking around 100 cows) powered by a water wheel in the stream, sheds including one for making concrete posts for the farm. The wool and cream cans were transported 2km up to the Wairamarama Rd by horse and cart then later by truck.
During the mid 1950's the buildings were relocated up to the present sites near the road. Since 1974 the Ball Family have modernised and built new ancillary buildings.
The native bush (approx 30ha) and limestone bluffs above the Mangapapa Stream create a stunning backdrop to the property. With location in mind, Wairama Downs sits within commuting distance of Auckland and Hamilton Cities. Potential for farm tourism - camping, homestays, walking, horse trekking, motorbikes, abseiling.
