This well-presented and productive 40.9075ha (more or less) bare land property offers opportunities for diverse agricultural activities. With a history of dairy support, sheep and beef finishing, crop cultivation, and 'cut and carry' feed sales, it provides numerous farming options. Additionally, the approved subdivision potential makes it attractive for the discerning buyer.

Located in the Waimakariri district just 6km from Oxford, this well-serviced area offers a tranquil environment with mountain views, and abundant recreational activities, as well as both primary and secondary schooling. The larger service town of Rangiora is 38km away, and Christchurch with an international airport, is only 58km to the southeast.

Boasting free-draining and productive soils, the property has a strong history of dairy grazing and sheep and beef finishing, currently winter grazing 400 to 500 cows and finishing 50 sheep. Pastures consist of modern cultivars, with a history of growing contract peas and feed peas and kale primarily cultivated for winter feed. Up to 27 hectares are permitted for growing winter feed root crops. Additionally, some of the pasture is harvested as 'cut and carry' and sold to farmers annually.

Divided into nine paddocks, fencing consists of traditional netting with an electric wire. Four units of county water is supplied with a solar-powered unit used to pump water to troughs located in all paddocks. Water storage is well-catered for with two 30,000 litre storage tanks. The property is well-sheltered with extensive shelterbelts consisting of Pine and Blue Gum trees.

Subdivision plans approved by the Waimakariri District Council allow the property to be divided into nine separate lots, offering significant potential for future development.

This versatile property is ideal for a variety of rural activities, thanks to its advantageous dairy support and finishing capabilities. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a smaller holding, existing operations looking to expand, or those interested in future subdivision development. Its adaptability presents an exciting opportunity that should not be missed!
