525 Parish Road, Burnt Hill, Waimakariri, Canterbury

Our vendors have made plans, presenting a prime opportunity to be farming this 99.744-hectare (more or less) property renowned for production and close to amenities and recreational activities. Spring has sprung, the crops are in, and the hard work has been done - this farm is ready for new owners to walk in and start farming. It features approximately 95 hectares of freehold land with the added benefit of an adjoining approximately 4.7-hectare council lease that could be available for the new owners.

Over the past 13 years, the vendors have successfully finished beef cattle and grazed dairy heifers and cows on the property. The new owners will enjoy spectacular mountain views, good soils, and relatively reliable rainfall, making it ideal for growing grass or producing crops.

The property is subdivided into 15 paddocks with well-maintained fencing and both Pine and Macrocarpa shelter belts. It receives nine units of council water with approximately 90,000 litres of storage, gravity-fed to large cattle troughs throughout the farm. Additional features include cattle yards with a head bale, load scales/weight crate, with a capacity of 200-300 cattle, and a portable loading ramp. A three-bay implement shed with one concrete bay and an old house used for storage are also included. Gravel access ensures all-weather stock truck movements.

The land has a strong nitrogen baseline, positioning it well for a profitable future and making it suitable for various farming systems. Pastures consist of modern varieties boosted with plantain and clovers. The current owners have successfully grown brassica crops and greenfeed oats, and the free-draining soils make it ideal for wintering and grazing dairy cattle, as well as finishing prime stock.

Located just minutes from Oxford and the Waimakariri Gorge, this bare land holding offers a blend of excellent farming and recreational opportunities. Well-serviced by essential farming amenities and nearby town facilities, the area is renowned for recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, skiing, jet boating, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking. This property is not only perfect for farming but also well-suited for recreational or tourism ventures.
