44 Robert Street, Taupo
Welcome to this outstanding 172-hectare dairy property, positioned with excellent access to both Taupō and Tokoroa. Of the total area, approximately 142 hectares is in productive pasture, with the contour predominantly flat to rolling with some easy hill country, making for an efficient and easily managed operation.
Currently milking 415 cows, the farm has consistently produced between 155,000 and 180,000 kilograms of milk solids per annum, with an impressive six-year average of 170,000kg/MS. The target for the 2025/26 season is 180,000kg/MS. Cows are well supported, with between 700 and 1,000 kilograms of supplementary feed of dry matter, brought in per head annually, depending on pasture growth.
All in-calf cows are wintered on-farm, with approximately three hectares of kale grown for winter crop and seven hectares of turnips sown for summer feed. Pasture renewal is integrated with cropping, and the farm consistently harvests 160 to 180 tonnesof grass silage annually, with additional baleagetaken when surplus pasture is available.
The property has a strong fertiliserhistory, supported by regular soil testing. Soil fertility can be described in one word: optimum. The effluent system is fully compliant and irrigates over 22 hectares, supporting both soil health and sustainability. Infrastructure is well set up for efficiency. A 32-aside herringbone shed is the hub of operations, supported by a feed pad with capacity for 300 cows. Farm races are easily maintained with ample on-farm pumice, and a bridge provides secure access across the stream for both stock and machinery.
Three strategically placed silage bunkers, including one with a concrete floor by the cowshed, provide excellent feed storage. Water reliability is another strength, with supply from the Taupō District Council scheme and stock water pumped from a stream via a 32mm line to troughs. Four water tanks, holding approximately 80,000 litres, service both the cowshed and wider farm requirements.
Accommodation is well catered for, with two family homes on the property. The main dwelling offers three bedrooms, a large deck, and garaging, while a second three-bedroom home provides additional options for staff.
Non-effective areas have been planted in young pines, approximately six hectares (more or less), offering potential future woodlot income. Converted from drystockto dairy in the early 1990s by the current owner, this farm is a relatively young, well-established dairy platform with proven performance and excellent infrastructure.
Located just 26 minutes from Taupō, the farm offers the perfect balance of rural living and proximity to key services. After a long day on the farm, owners can enjoy the natural hot pools on the property, providing a relaxing retreat right at home.
This property represents a balanced, productive, and sustainable dairy unit -ready to continue delivering for its next owner.
This will be sold on a Plus GST (if any) basis.
