Property listing ID: 943030
Located off Te Pua Road, close to Kerikeri and Paihia, opportunities like this are as scarce as hen’s teeth. Free-draining volcanic soils situated in a reliable rainfall belt averaging around 2,500mm per annum ensuring year-round grass growth, high production and minimal mud. Currently calving down 250 cows under a split-calving regime (100 Autumn/150 Spring), producing a best of 132,651 kg MS. The farm is off to a flyer this season, running 20% ahead of last year. A renovated 16-aside herringbone shed equipped with a DeLaval milking plant and new ice bank and covered feed pad installed to take the farm to a new level. There is a comfortable four-bedroom home complemented by an extensive array of sheds. The herd is also available by negotiation as part of a going concern. Also, an adjoining 47 hectare block is available to purchase separately, some of which could be milked off but would be ideal for dairy support or maize production. The versatile soils also offer scope for extensive market gardening.
