This quality 69 hectare dairy unit is located in the highly sought after Gordonton area and is bordered by a rich history and number of picturesque lakes.
The property is a true credit to the owners and represents an appealing opportunity with contour predominantly flat to undulating and in two titles. The 24 bale internal rotary, with Alpha Laval milking plant and automatic teat sprayer, is centrally located and feeds via good races to 38 paddocks. Around 190 cows are milked once a day with a three year production average of 57,394 milk solids. Cows are wintered on farm with calves off late December and heifers returning in June. Supplementary hay and silage are both made on farm plus some is purchased.
Excellent infrastructure is evident, which includes a four bay coloursteel Kiwispan shed with awning and four commercial roller doors with storage bay and three phase power, a two bay half round barn for calf rearing and a number of other support buildings including a good set of Te Pari steel cattle yards are also located near the dairy.
Water is sourced from a bore which is pumped to a tank with sand filter at the shed. With a dosatron inline dispenser in place the water is then reticulated around the farm via 32mm - 25mm main lines with 20mm laterals to all troughs.
The fencing is a mixture of both 7 wire post and batten or 2-3 wire electric on the boundary with mostly 4 wire internal electric. Effluent is spread over the property currently by contractors monthly from a pond with 6-8 week storage.
The main home features three bedrooms, open plan living and dining with a large rumpus room opening out to the swimming pool area. A separate sleep out is included in the three bay garage. The second dwelling is a two-bedroom home with a carport. Both homes enjoy elevated views over the property.
This property is a fantastic opportunity to purchase an easy to manage, well presented dairy unit in a great location. The retiring vendors are moving on after enjoying this property for many years.
