The Estate of AW Parsons offers a genuine sheep and beef breeding/finishing property which has been faithfully farmed under Public Trust’s guidance for over 70 years.
The property is situated 37 kilometres south-east of Waipukurau with the school bus at the gate, only 24 kilometres to Flemington Primary School and 28 kilometres to the Porangahau Country Club.
Currently run as one unit, the estate is split into three separate blocks. The main landholding of 869 hectares provides the easy to medium/steeper breeding platform with a very good standard of fencing, subdivision and laneways.
A feature of the property is the three large dams which form the security and source of the extensive reticulated water system. Extensive poplar and willow plantings and 31 hectares of mainly mature Pinus radiata woodlots complete this aesthetically pleasing property. A portion of the farm has been run as a Hind breeding block.
Improvements include the very tidy four bedroom manager’s residence and three bedroom staff accommodation, as well as an excellent four stand woolshed/covered sheep yards complex.
The 43 hectare bottom finishing block is flat to easy in contour and has a set of cattle yards. The Awahiwi Road block of 169 hectares can be purchased separately to the main farm and comprises flat and easy contour, covered sheep yards, cattle yards and a community utilised all weather airstrip.
Farms of this scale with the quality of infrastructure and buildings and the ability to finish livestock are hard to find. The opportunity to acquire well bred capital Romney ewes and Angus beef cows is also one not to be passed up.
