This well cared for 112 hectare dairy property is located in the heart of the Wharepapa South district and is set nicely to capture the morning sun.
The predominantly undulating property is well appointed. Farm buildings include a good 20 aside herringbone dairy shed, a 4 bay implement barn with 1 bay lockable, 3 bay implement and calf rearing barn, and a 1/2 round barn used for hay and implement storage. The effluent pond is newly developed and effluent is spread via traveling irrigators.
It's cruising along nicely under owner management with around 280 cows being milked off the 95 hectare dairy platform. The last three year average production is 99,376kg milk solids and the farm finished the 2013/2014 season at over 108,000 kg milk solids.
There's good access around the farm, which is subdivided with mainly 2 or 3 wire electric fencing and post, batten and wire on the externals. Soil type is Mairoa Ash and water is from a bore source.
The tree plantations include 4 hectares of pruned pines which are approximately 20 years old. In addition, the strategic planting of exotic trees around the farm provide an attractive feature as do the six duck ponds.
The four bedroom home with an office, sits nicely on a rise and captures the surrounding views and morning sun. Outdoors the gardens are attractively landscaped and there's even an in-ground pool. The second dwelling has three bedrooms and is set at a practical distance from the first to ensure privacy for each.
Nearby Wharepapa South provides a Primary School, cafe and vehicle service centre. A little further a field you'll find Te Awamutu (34 km) and Putaruru (36 km). Hamilton is also nearby (62 km). You'll find plenty of opportunity for you and the family to completely immerse yourselves in the friendly local community.
