Approximately 534 hectares freehold hill property in a sought after area of South Canterbury with an average rainfall of up to 800mm per annum. The vendors have farmed the property for 23 years and in that time have developed the infrastructure to a high level. The four bedroom homestead has been tastefully renovated plus the two bedroom cottage is ideal for extra family or visitors. The three stand raised board woolshed has covered yards giving 700 night store capacity, plus attached full sheep yards and separate cattle yards. A five bay implement shed plus workshop and granary complete the yard with a four bay hay shed a short distance away. Laneway system has been developed for ease of management. Second set of both sheep and cattle yards are in place plus a well developed air strip.
"Raydon" is at present running approximately 2,500 cross-bred ewes, keeping their own replacements with the male lambs fattened. Approximately 80 cows are wintered, again with their own replacements kept, the steer calves are sold to a repeat buyer.
There is approximately 39 hectares of winter feed/new grass drilled which is the present policy of on-going paddock/grass renewal. This is part of the overall long term policy of the vendors to develop some new land where possible.
"Raydon" is a well developed property but still has potential to grow, located approximately 21km from Pleasant Point and approximately 40km from Timaru with all facilities close by.
