On behalf of our Vendors we offer to the market two properties, representing a legacy of three generations of faithful stewardship. Hollyfort Farm located at Dorie, consisting of approximately 359 hectares, and Newpark Farm, located at Chertsey, consisting of approximately 169 hectares.

Both properties benefit from modern irrigation systems, developed extensively by the current family business. They are predominantly arable, producing wheat, grass seed, clover seed, and vegetables, and on average finishing 13,000 lambs during the winter and early spring months. Hollyfort Farm also offers the advantage of dairy support and beef grazing, with winter feed area of 33 hectares planted in fodder crop plus greenfeed oats. The properties are fenced into large blocks, designed for scale of operation and ease of management, complemented by well-maintained laneways for convenient access.

Hollyfort Farm is the main operating base with sheep yards, shearing shed, cattle yards, implement sheds and silos with a combined total of approximately 3,500 tonnes of storage including the grain shed. Additionally, Hollyfort Farm offers a consent for producing water-based beverages for selling. The homestead at Hollyfort Farm sits in a well-established sheltered garden with specimen trees and a vast lawn. The home features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, with a separate lounge.

Located a short drive from Rakaia and Ashburton in Mid Canterbury, a county renowned for its diverse nature and in the heart of wider Canterbury's arable, vegetable and dairy production. This is a quality landholding combining productive soils, irrigation water, and efficient application.

Properties of this quality are rare and seldom come to the market. Options to purchase as a whole or separate properties will be considered.
