Mount Brown has been farmed by the vendor (and family) since being acquired through the New Zealand Government ballot system upon returning from active service in World War 2.
220.4417 hectares (544.7233 acres) more or less. Subdivided into approximately 30 paddocks and easy downs. Fencing is a mix of posts, standards, wire and netting with an electric outrigger attached to some. Sown in a mix of traditional Rye grasses and clovers.
A feature on the property are the well-trimmed pine shelter belts predominantly running north to south to give excellent nor'west shelter.
Water supply for both domestic and stock is sourced from a well, pumped to two tanks at the top of the farm then gravity fed to both cattle and sheep troughs, and to dwelling.
With reference to S-Map online there are two soil types being Waipara f (sib2) and Glasnevin f (sib2).
The farming policy for many years was one of running breeding ewes and beef cows and fattening their progeny. Store lambs and cattle were also traded. Some cropping was also incorporated into the farm system.
Mount Brown is complemented by a vast array of infrastructure.
Modern double-glazed three-double bedroom home comprises open plan kitchen and dining, master with en suite, and office area. Two heat pumps and a large log fire with wet back. Internal access double garage and detached double garage.
Mount Brown is a fantastic property, very conservatively farmed and as a result looks to be in very good heart. Located in a good farming area of North Canterbury, very well renowned for producing very healthy stock.
Approximately 9km northwest of Amberley, 30km to Rangiora and 53km to Christchurch International Airport.
