This unique dairy farm offers exceptional versatility and genuine long-term potential. Whether you want to continue its current path as an organic, low-input, self-contained dairy operation, increase production, convert to a beef finishing block, or explore the option of splitting it into two runoff units-the opportunities here are truly abundant.

The property currently runs approximately 220 cows, producing an average of around 70,000 MS from a milking platform of roughly 90 hectares. A further 100 hectares is utilised as a connected runoff/support block via a central laneway, which runs through an area planted in radiata pine-adding yet another layer of diversity. Water supply is a standout feature, with a reliable irrigation bore supported by three natural water sources for domestic and stock supply.

The dairy infrastructure is well presented, with a very tidy and well-maintained 24 A/S herringbone shed. Effluent is managed via a holding tank and pumped to a near-new, lined 1-million-litre pond. Supporting improvements are extensive and well positioned across both the platform and the runoff, including two large hay sheds, cattle yards on each block, a substantial implement shed, various calf sheds, and former deer and cow sheds.

Accommodation is another big tick, with three modest homes providing excellent options for family, staff, or future title adjustments-offering potential for sales or rental income.

A true point of difference is the property's genuine character and natural beauty. Mature trees-including some magnificent natives-frame the farm beautifully. The jewel in the crown is the 40-hectare flat QEII-protected native bush block, complete with a rustic back-country hut tucked among towering natives. If walking, exploring, or hunting is high on your wishlist, this is an absolute standout.

The location is also superb-positioned just before the turnoff to Okiwi Bay, putting blue cod, snapper, and kingfish practically on your doorstep. Head the other way and you're equidistant to both Nelson and Blenheim, giving you the best of both regions.

It's as certain as death and taxes that this farm will attract strong interest-so get in touch now if you want to be the lucky new owner.
