Located in the heart of the sought after Waimate West plains is this 121.4 hectare dairy farm which is currently operated on a system one grass only basis.
Calving around 310/315 cows the farm has a five year average of 112,873 kg milk solids with a top production of 126,000 kg.
A definite feature of this farm is the modern 44 bail Kodesign rotary cowshed with cup removers, auto teat spray, Protrack drafting and milk sensors. With the addition of an in-shed fed system this farm has considerable potential for production increases for a new owner. An added extra opportunity is that an adjoining neighbouring 74 hectare property located handy to the cowshed is currently available to purchase for those looking for extra scale and with the required size milking facility with yard space already in place. A large six bay shed with power plus sliding and roller doors caters for calf rearing and implement storage.
This all flat top quality land is accessed by two main races to the 50 paddocks which are serviced with Waimate water supply via 50mm main lines.
Four to six hectares of turnips are grown annually along with between 300 and 400 bales of silage harvested each year.
The dwelling is a three bedroom home which is double glazed and has a log fire with heat transfer and an updated kitchen.
An extra bonus is that the farm has access to its own source of excellent pit metal.
For those wishing to purchase and farm in one of Taranaki's finest dairy areas we strongly recommend an inspection.
