545 Clydevale Road, Wairuna, Clutha, Otago

We are proud to offer to the market this solid performing, modern-design dairy unit located in the well-regarded farming district of Wairuna, South Otago.

At 196 ha (subject to survey), and on soils well known for their cropping capabilities, it was established in dairy just 11 years ago and operates as a dairy platform milking 530 cows.

Featuring a modern 54-bail rotary with ACR's, excellent low-rate effluent management system and a well-designed farm layout, all combining to create the potential for a very people-efficient environment to manage and work in.

Currently aimed at operating as a low-cost grass-based system, the emphasis is on good pastures, with a consistent annual regrassing program in place. Soil testing is conducted as a whole-farm test every three years, with control-test soil testing occurring every other year, and fertiliser applied according to recommendations.

The stock water reticulation system is also modern, and provides stock access to two water troughs per paddock.

It is complimented by an extensive array of farm buildings, including a large concrete floor combination/bulk storage shed, grain silos, covered yards, workshop and other support buildings.

Of significant advantage is the on-farm rock supply, with all lanes built and maintained using this to a high standard.

Two dwellings compliment the property, the main home is a five bedroom homestead set in established gardens. This is a substantial home with ensuite, separate lounge, plenty of garage space, log-burner and diesel heating options.

The second dwelling is a quality three bedroom home, built at the time the farm was converted to dairy. It is heated by heat-pump, and with internal access garage is a great warm, low maintenance addition to attract good farm staff.

The location allows for relatively easy commuting both north to Dunedin & Balclutha, or south to Gore & Invercargill, and is well within reach of a weekend away in Central Otago. A great opportunity for a solid dairy investment that ticks a number of boxes.
