Established in 1904 with the purchase of the first title, this large scale farm has been held continuously by the Mackenzie family and now totals 2,446 hectares, of which approximately 1,164 hectares is effective grazing pasture. The balance is indigenous forest.
The property has been leased and farmed to a high standard since 2002. Contour ranges from flat and easy to medium and steeper hill country and is well subdivided into 58 paddocks with good motorbike access throughout. Unseen from the road is very fertile terrace plateau country.
The current lessee fattens all lambs, apart from approximately 100 smaller lambs. There is a long and consistent fertiliser history. Waitewhena Road runs through the length of the farm.
Improvements include three dwellings and exceptional livestock handling facilities, comprising a four stand woolshed, large covered yards, extensive sheep yards, five satellite sheep yards, and near new cattle yards. Water supply is predominantly natural, with opportunity to develop elevated springs all situated in a consistent rainfall area.
This well scaled property offers the ability to run large numbers of ewes and cattle, with flexibility to finish stock on farm or use as a source of store stock for finishing elsewhere.
