406.99ha

Premium location - large dairy unit

A very well-located 406.99 hectare (more or less) dairy unit, this property has been under the stewardship of the same family for the past 57 years.

Currently milking 538 cows, the farm is supported by impressive infrastructure that ensures efficient and sustainable operations. The heart of the operation is a 50-aside herringbone cowshed, complete with an ice bank. AI race holds 23 cows and a separate wrangler head bail. Supporting this is a 300sqm calf-rearing shed providing additional income from dairy beef and a well-designed feed pad which holds the full herd and includes 75-meter bins for maize, grass silage, and PKE. A backup generator is also on-site, ensuring continuity of operations in the event of a power outage. Adjacent to the cowshed is a conveniently located lunchroom and toilet, alongside a single-unit accommodation.

Housing across the farm includes three modern family homes: a four-bedroom Generation home, a four-bedroom Classic home, and the original five-bedroom homestead, which also includes an office. Additionally, there are single-man units to house staff or seasonal workers.

The farm is spread over 11 titles and is largely bordered by the Wairua River. A class 1 bridge, constructed by the current owners in the early 1980s, provides direct access across the river to Kokopu, with Maungatapere just 12 kilometres away and Whangārei’s city centre a comfortable 23-kilometre drive. A certified underpass provides safe and efficient access from the main farm to 80 hectares located on the opposite side.

Environmentally, the property is well developed with fenced waterways and a well -designed effluent system, complemented with a weeping wall. The farm has been conservatively managed, consistently producing around 200,000 kgMS from a split-calving system. However, with infrastructure and land capacity in place, there is significant potential to lift production to support up to 650 cows.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing, large-scale dairy unit in a sought-after and proven farming district, with room for further development and growth.
