1002 Somerton Road, Rakaia, Ashburton

Diverse property for lease

Deadline 12pm, Fri 4 Nov 2022
After 100 years of family ownership and the pending expiry of the current lease, we are instructed to offer to the market this 105 hectare (more or less) bare land property for lease.
Located within close proximity to Rakaia, Mid Canterbury, an area renowned for arable and seed production, this property shows the attributes of quality Templeton soils and irrigation, producing a range of crops particularly specialist small seeds including carrots, radish and beetroot, peas, grass seed, cereals and potatoes. Winter feed crops are also grown in rotation for grazing sheep and lambs.
Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation Scheme provides water and is applied via three pivot irrigators for optimal use of the area.
A well-formed track with access off Somerton Road goes to the centre of the property, which is fenced into four manageable approximately 26-hectare paddocks.
This is an excellent and rare opportunity, whether starting a career in farming, or as an expansion to an existing operation.
Contact Mike Preston or Adam Whitelock for more details.
