Rarely does one encounter such a diverse 78 hectare gem on the market. Providence boasts lush, fertile flats and picturesque totara laden river terrace areas, offering an exceptional blend of high-quality farming and recreational possibilities. Approximately 50 hectares of this expansive property is dedicated to permanent pasture and crops, while the remaining land features scattered native trees amongst easy-contoured grazing land and is a haven for a rich array of wildlife and game, including red and fallow deer, pheasants, and quail.
A purpose-built three pond system not only safeguards against sediment runoff into the Pohangina River but also provides an ideal setting for waterfowl hunting, including ducks, geese and swans. The property's current farming system is grazing R2 dairy heifers, wintering dairy cows and supplemented with grazing bull calves from November to May. This property also has the ability to breed or finish any class of sheep and beef. With a combination of winter cropping and robust spring/summer pasture growth, both dairy support and bull finishing have been successfully operated, with stock consistently finished at impressive live weights.
Enhancing the appeal of Providence are various improvements on the property. These include a freshly renovated four-bedroom homestead situated on its own title, surrounded by mature grounds, excellent garaging, a sleepout, a three stand woolshed and well-appointed sheep and cattle yards, alongside various farm buildings. The second title has an elevated, well fenced dream homesite with outstanding views of the Pohangina River and the Ruahine Ranges.
Whether you're a first time farm buyer looking to downsize or expand an existing venture, or simply seeking the ultimate recreational property, Providence promises to satisfy your diverse needs. We recommend viewing this property only if you're ready to be captivated by its charm upon first inspection.
