780 Te Maire Road, Te Kopuru, Kaipara, Northland

This 171-hectare dairy farm is a solid investment, currently home to 300 Friesian dairy cows, and situated in a prime coastal location. The land is made up of Red Hill Loam and Pinaki Sand soils, providing a good foundation for farming. Over the past three years, the farm has achieved an average production of 109,438 kgMS with the scope for improvement.

The infrastructure here is practical and well-maintained, featuring a 25-aside herringbone cow shed, feed pad, 5-bay implement shed, 3-bay calf shed, and a large set of cattle yards conveniently positioned at the roadside.

Water is supplied by the Te Marie and Bradley water schemes, with the Bradley scheme also servicing the farmhouse.

The farm features a three-pond effluent system and has the capacity to irrigate approximately 20 hectares using a pod system. It operates primarily as a pasture-based system, supplemented with PKE, maize, and turnips grown on the property. The land is subdivided into 53 paddocks, all with multi-wire electric fencing. The race system has a limestone base, and the land boasts gentle-to-rolling contours with some steeper sidelings.

The farmhouse itself is a comfortable three-bedroom, one-bathroom home, featuring a sleepout that adds flexibility for extra space.

Whether you're looking for a good first farm or something well-suited to a husband-and-wife team, this property has the basics covered to get you started or keep you going strong.
