Productive 292ha dairy farm - Retiring vendors

Just 20 minutes from Dargaville, this 292-hectare farm spread across six titles offers a solid investment opportunity with plenty of upside for the new owner. The land is 50% flat, with the remaining gently rolling suitable for growing maize and grass silage and offering a mix of Kaipara Marine Clay flats and Te Kopuru Sand on the easy country. These two-soil types provide flexibility managing pasture quality.
One of the key features of this property is the recently installed Irrigation system. Two pivots and a hard hose system covers 100 hectares of the property. Consent to draw 58 litres per second from the Owairangi Creek until 2031.
The farm has consistently performed well, with an average three-year production of 136,296kgMS, and last year's figures reaching 141,171kgMS. Infrastructure is robust, including a 42 ASHB cow shed, a new 500-cow feed pad, a six-bay implement shed, cattle yards with concrete pad, wash-down hose and power, and ample hay barns.
Farm water is sourced from two separate bores and pressure-pumped to troughs throughout the property. The fencing is solid, featuring a mix of seven-wire and multi-wire electric on the boundaries, with internal fencing being two and one wire electric. Access around the farm is easy with good limestone and sandstone races.
Accommodation on the property is well-catered for with three homes. The main home is spacious, offering five bedrooms and has been redecorated. The second home has three bedrooms and a renovated kitchen, while the third is a comfortable three-bedroom farm cottage.
With the vendors retiring, this is an excellent chance to step into a well-established operation.
