172 Sutherland Road, Matata, Whakatane, Bay of Plenty

172 Sutherland Road is located on the Rangitaiki Plains Edgecumbe, a region recognised for its great climate, highly productive soils and exceptional lifestyle.

At 124ha's, this farm has been subdivided away from a 177ha dairy unit that has been farmed by the same family over three generations since 1919 and after 105 years the opportunity now exists to put yourself and your family into a most viable dairy unit and carry on the legacy this family with their generational dedication has created.

The flat to slightly undulating contour land creates options if you want to be self-contained with a support block of 20ha on the boundary that can be leased to grow supplements, graze your young stock or include it in your milking platform and increase cow numbers to maximum the potential this area creates.

With its great location, being within 6 kilometres of the Edgecumbe and the Fonterra dairy factory, the property is conveniently close to all the amenities and services the local community offers.

Historically the property has milked 500 mixed age dairy cows on 177 hectares with the farm budgeting for a yearly production target of 200,000kg MS each season. The spring calving herd is milked twice a day all season - most seasons and the farm is run at a Dairy NZ System 3.

Cows are milking through a 14-year-old dairy shed 28 ASHB with ACR's. Other improvements include 2 x 3-bedroom, single bathroom homes. A good selection of support buildings compliments the farm including herd homes, calf rearing sheds and hay barns.

Being part of the Fonterra whey scheme, good fertility has been established with the property growing strong, weed free pastures and in so giving a new owner confidence and the peace of mind that they are investing in good productive and biologically active soils. The community owned /managed Withy water scheme comes onto the property and supplies water for domestic, stock and dairy shed use.

This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a well-established, highly productive dairy farm on The Renowned Rangitaiki Plains "Dairy Central" a decision your family will thank you for in generations and decades to come.
