Currently, the property is a functional dairy farm in three titles and the milk produced goes into the award-winning ice cream and frozen yoghurt products of Appleby Farms (Cow to Cone) https;/www.applebyfarms.co.nz/cow-to-cone.
Just on the outskirts of Richmond on the fertile Waimea Plains, the farm has been faithfully farmed by the King family for three generations. However, time moves on, and now with the Waimea Dam operational and providing certainty and reliability of irrigation water, there is the opportunity for a land use change and the chance to extract more value out of this richly fertile block of land.
The property is suitable for horticulture/vegetable development with a fully affiliated shareholding in the Waimea Community Dam. The soils are ideal for a wide variety of horticultural crops with access to reliable irrigation.
Options to purchase all or some of the four titles including a new house:
The whole farm of 57.96ha, 'H Block' 10.7ha, 'C Block' 15.59ha, 'A Block' 31.3ha, dwelling 0.2ha (subject to survey).
A greenfield operation is in permanent pasture. Adjacent to the recent Richmond West, Berryfields residential development, is just 3km west of Richmond township, 12km southwest of Nelson airport, and a further 4km to Port Nelson.
