Every so often, we have the privilege of marketing a truly exceptional property – and ‘Big Rock Farm’ is undoubtedly one of them. Privately positioned in the sought-after Ruatangata area, just west of Whangārei, this outstanding 85.0050-hectare (more or less) dairy farm spans three titles and offers a rare combination of productivity, versatility, and lifestyle appeal.

The property is long and narrow in shape, bordered by the Wairua River to the north and kiwifruit orchards to the south. With easy contours throughout, it includes approximately 20 hectares of flat land and a diverse range of soil types, including significant areas of fertile volcanic soil.

Currently operating as a spring calving OAD dairy unit, the farm’s layout and location also lends itself well to a range of alternative uses such as dairy support, beef finishing, or an expansive lifestyle block. This property has been conservatively farmed leaving ample scope for increased production.

This property has been developed to a high standard by the current vendors over the past 43 years, with an emphasis on ease of management. Centrally raced to 47 paddocks, regularly fertilized, and a reliable water source. Infrastructure includes an immaculately maintained 16ASHB cow shed, calf sheds, and a near-new four-bay implement shed. For equestrian enthusiasts, there’s a large arena, round pen, and tack room.

Proudly situated in the centre of the farm is a stunning 225sqm architecturally designed home. This modern residence features three bedrooms (main with ensuite) and a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, all set within beautifully manicured gardens. The home enjoys sweeping views across the farm and down to the river. Four separate deck areas allow for enjoyment of these views. This is a home to be proud of.

After more than four decades of ownership, our vendors have made the decision to retire and move on. Opportunities like this are few and far between – don’t miss your chance to secure a truly special property.
