This 32.96 hectare irrigated property located on the door step of the Amuri dairying district of North Canterbury. Approximately 1km to Waiau, 20km to Culverden, 73km to Amberley and 120km to Christchurch International Airport. The property is subdivided into approximately 10 paddocks all of which are being irrigated by two travelling irrigators. There is an Ecan consent held allowing the drawing of water through a screen from a gallery from a spring fed creek running through the property. The water is pumped by an 18kw electric motor through both 75mm and 90mm underground mainlines. Both irrigators operate at the same time. Run lengths are 150 to 200 metres and the return period is 7 days.
The soil types are mostly Waimakariri Series. They are a mix of very heavy silt loams to some lighter stony soils. The present cover is permanent pasture with red and white clover. Fertiliser is applied at sowing and also depending on soil tests. The property has grazed dairy cows from August to March as well as grazing other cattle. All irrigation equipment is included in the sale.
Location, irrigation and size, makes it an attractive investment for either dairy support, as a winter grazing block or first farm, or an income generating lifestyle property.
