If you've been watching the market, looking for a proven, productive dairy farm in a well-known and highly regarded location, you'll know all too well that they're few and far between.
Welcome to 1707/1780 & 1436 Takaka Valley Highway - a property that truly offers it all, with multiple purchase options on the table and exciting future potential for the next caretaker of this exceptional dairy holding.
Purchase options include:
Entire block - 4 houses, 3 cow sheds, approx. 289.14 ha
Milking platform block (without 1436 support block) - approx. 191.49 ha
1436 Takaka Valley - approx. 98.48 ha
This proven and productive block has consistently delivered, with a three-year average production of 216,938 MS and peak cow numbers around 540-550. The main farm is unique, featuring two cow sheds - a 30 A/S herringbone with cup removers and auto teat sprayer, and a 20 A/S herringbone - located on either side of the road and connected by an underpass. This setup gives excellent flexibility and options for future operation.
The farm also includes a range of calf, hay, and implement sheds, and is currently running two herds. The milking platform across the entire property covers approximately 185 ha of fertile river flats, with a generous resource consent to irrigate 20 ha via centre pivot, and a further 167 ha via K-line. The main block also has three solid homes, all Healthy Homes compliant - two four-bedroom houses and one three-bedroom home.
1436 Takaka Valley Highway adjoins the main property and is a fantastic addition to the farm. This 98.4 ha (approx.) support and winter grazing block was previously a standalone dairy farm and last milked in 2022. It offers the flexibility to continue supporting the current operation, or explore adding to the milking platform. Improvements include a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom house refurbished in 2022, plus the original de commissioned cow shed, implement shed, hay shed, and silage pit.
