An outstanding opportunity presents itself to acquire a meticulously maintained and highly productive agricultural enterprise in the heart of the Waikato.
New Zealanders now consume on average over 40 kilograms of chicken per person per annum, positioning us per capita as the seventh-largest consumers of chicken meat worldwide. With demand forecast to grow and barn-raised chicken holding a significant share of the market, the future for this sector remains exceptionally robust.
Our clients are proud to present one of the finest SPCA-accredited barn-raised meat chicken operations currently available. Situated near Matamata, this idyllic property offers scale, quality, and security of supply.
The farm infrastructure is first-class. A six-shed complex, totalling 11,136m² of floor area, is fully compliant and maintained to an exceptional standard. The operation benefits from a long-term supply agreement with Inghams Enterprises, one of Australasia's leading poultry producers. Offered for sale as a going concern, the property includes all necessary consents and is operated by an experienced management team-who may be available to continue post-sale, ensuring a seamless transition. Accommodation across the property is equally impressive. The main residence is a beautifully appointed five-bedroom family home complete with an in-ground swimming pool. Two additional quality dwellings provide excellent accommodation for staff or a farm manager.
The 57.49-hectare property features a well-balanced land use mix. A recently harvested 15-hectare forestry block offers the opportunity for replanting in either pines or natives, with potential to acquire future carbon credits, while the remaining land supports productive grazing for approximately 130 young stock and has a proven history of successful maize cropping.
Every element of this operation reflects careful planning, professional management, and a commitment to excellence.
For discerning buyers seeking a premium, turn-key agricultural investment with secure returns, strong fundamentals, growth potential, automated climate controlled growing sheds offering a relaxed style of farming, this property represents an exceptional opportunity.
