If you are looking for a large, self-contained dairy farm, this one presents buyers with plenty of options.
Located on the Upper Pitone Road, Pitone, this 216.13 hectare (534.05 acre) farm (38.7 hectares being West Coast Lease) is currently milking approximately 280 crossbred cows through an extremely tidy 12 year old, 36 bail rotary cowshed, complete with air drafting, ACRs, and in-shed feed system and has typically been running all replacements on farm.
With two homes, the main home being a new 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick home recently completed and the second is a very tidy 6 year old 2-bedroom home.
The contour is a mix of flat to easy and rolling with some steeper sidlings, there is approximately 50 hectares of mowable contour for the making of supplements.
With a reliable water source, tidy races and fencing, the farm also has a large disused woolshed and yards perfect for rearing calves.
Rarely does a farm of this size present to market with so many farming options available; stay in dairy, beef or heifer grazing, along with some opportunity for Carbon/ETS are some examples.
This farm is without doubt a must see.
