985 Manaia Road, Kapuni, South Taranaki

Located in the sought-after Kapuni farming district, 985 Manaia Road offers approximately 93 hectares of prime dairy country in one of the region’s most productive locations. The predominantly flat contour provides excellent effective land utilisation, with the Kaupokonui Stream at the front and Dunns Creek at the rear providing natural features through the property. With good-quality soils and a proven dairy farming history, this is the type of property many purchasers will have had their eye on over the years – and one that deserves serious consideration for those seeking a quality dairy opportunity.

The property is efficiently laid out around a central race system, with the 28-bail Ardco rotary cowshed, calf-rearing facilities and supporting buildings conveniently positioned near the centre of the farm. The farm is well serviced by the Waimate West Water Scheme, while the established effluent system provides for storage and application across the property, with effluent consent in place through to 2039. Pastures and fencing are generally well maintained, with opportunity to build on the existing improvements and further develop the property.

The farm currently milks approximately 250 cows each season, with around 80 calves raised on farm. The current low-input system has supported a solid production history, while providing an opportunity to further develop the facilities and lift production over time. Two three-bedroom homes provide practical accommodation for those living and working on the farm, with the added benefit of potential additional rental income.

With its desirable Kapuni location, strong land base and established farming infrastructure, 985 Manaia Road provides an excellent foundation for its next owner. There is plenty to build on here, with the land, layout and existing facilities providing the ingredients to take the property forward. For those seeking a well-located dairy farm with good land and genuine potential to grow, this is a property that deserves your attention.
