153.34ha

369.56 Hectare Dairy Unit, Irrigated

On offer is a dairy platform of 369.56 hectares, milking 1250 cows that will have a broad market appeal for either an owner-operator seeking a larger-scale farm operation, or an investment group wishing to make a rural investment capable of delivering consistent and strong industry returns.

This unit comprises a total of 369.56ha, and in the 2023/2024 season generated 484,937kg milk solids, (dry land production) prior to the commissioning of the irrigation investment that was completed in the winter of 2025.

With the recent investment in the new irrigation infrastructure, this improvement will ensure a new owner can achieve a consistency in the properties ability to produce milk and in so maximise returns from the first season of ownership and ongoing.

The property is farmed as a traditional spring calving operation and is now able to capitalise on the 252ha’s under a centre pivot irrigated pasture area, covered by six centre pivot structures with water supplied from 3 bores under a new ground water consent granted until September 2040.

The mostly flat contour, supported with good range support infrastructure, reflects the vendors focus and commitment to efficiency with two herringbone dairy sheds and a full range of support buildings. All five homes and the self-contained unit for staff accommodation are comfortable and meet all healthy home standards.

Effluent systems reflect recently upgraded infrastructure with newly commissioned, lined and sealed storage ponds. New solids traps are in place with effluent being pumped from storage ponds to hydrants in paddocks and spread from traveling irrigation applicators.

High on the list of considerations when making a life changing investment must be a properties ability to sustainability farm into the future with longevity of environmental and consent compliance. Consented to operate with ground water uptake consent until 2040 and effluent discharge consent until 2038, everything is in place to give a new owner the confidence and peace of mind to operate viably ongoing.

The Galatea Valley is centrally located between Whakatane and Rotorua. Galatea could be described as a snapshot of rural New Zealand at its best, with all the attributes that provincial communities are recognised for. Locals look out for each other and welcome newcomers and visitors. Enjoy the easy access to the central north island and nearby freshwater lakes and rivers for skiing and fishing and the numerous wilderness areas the area offers for hunting and tramping.

It’s all here. Scale, location and high-quality infrastructure are all solid reasons to consider this farm if you have been looking for a property to add to your dairy investment portfolio. Call Phil now to receive an information memorandum and make a plan to view your next farm.
