Located in one of the Waikato‘s prime and tightly held dairy farm locations between Gordonton and Taupiri, this exceptional 67.5ha (more or less) dairy farm is offered on the market after 22 years of careful stewardship.
This fantastic dairy unit features a 30 AS/HB farm dairy located on an elevated site with an in shed feeding system, great support shedding and a large six-bedroom home. Soils are predominantly consolidated Peat with excellent fertility and PH levels.
The property is well laid out with a central race servicing 42 paddocks ranging in size from 1.05ha to 2.36ha. Fencing is a mixture of 4 and 2 wire electric. Stock water is supplied via a reliable consented well, with submersible pump, filtered through a silica sand system with 60,000L storage before being distributed through 40mm mainlines with a mix of 20/25mm to troughs. Effluent is pond stored, fully compliant and applied to approximately 10ha via a dragline pod tractor driven system.
Milking approximately 190 Friesian cows, consistent production ranges from 1000 to 1200 kg ms/ha from system 3 with PKE fed in shed and on farm when required.
Of particular note on this property is that it has been an Ag Research ryegrass trial farm for 7 years with a further 7 years of trials with Agricom focusing on meadow fescue.
The large two-storey family home sits on an elevated site with views over the farm and consists of six good sized bedrooms, two separate living areas and two bathrooms. The house sits well back off the quiet no exit road ensuring peaceful private living with a short stroll to the dairy shed.
