With most of the capital expenditure having been done, excellent farm layout and good infrastructure, this unit provides a great productive and sustainable dairy operation.
Fantastic opportunity to acquire a large scale 320 hectare dairy farm across multiple titles over exceptional contour.
Positioned in the heart of Ruawai, this fertile farm has impressive production of 219,000kgMS, from 600 cows and also rears 500 calves on whole milk, approximately 12-15,000kgMS.
Adding to its appeal, 210 hectares of flats with 110 hectares of gentle rolling land. Water is reticulated through the main farm via Dam, pumped to header tank and gravity fed to troughs. Water is plentiful with the assistance of two other bores which service the 36 paddocks on the western side. Limestone tracks are well maintained and regularly upgraded by the stone in the Quarry on farm. Effluent is a three pond system and is discharged on the paddocks by way of slurry tanker.
The property's fertile, predominantly free-draining soils allow operators to milk right through the winter months and take advantage of the region's strengths. Its picturesque gently rolling landscape has been well subdivided into 140 paddocks, all connected by a well-maintained, wide limestone race network for ease of management. Supplements made on farm are 20ha chicory, 15ha maize and approximately 400 bales silage.
Key infrastructure includes a renovated 40 ASHB cowshed, a large standoff feedpad system, implement and calf-rearing facilities, disused cowshed utilized for calf rearing and three well maintained homes all up to standard with healthy homes.
In addition to its farming assets, nearby you have the boat ramp, prime fishing spots, duck shooting and is just two hours from Auckland CBD. With its size, class contour and potential, stands as one of the finest in the Kaipara.
