Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
1pm, Thu 6 Mar 2025
Offered for sale for the first time in several generations this long-standing dairy farm of approximately 132 hectares (subject to survey) is superbly located to benefit from the future.
Situated within a short drive of Rangiora - the main township in the rapidly growing Waimakariri District - its location offers a chance to continue to farm whilst securing ownership of productive and versatile land on the fringe of steadily expanding residential and industrial areas. Investigate all land use opportunities, invest for the longer term and farm with a sharemilker, graze or use as a feed platform, but one thing is certain - this farm's proximity to Rangiora will always stand it in good stead.
The farm itself supplies Fonterra and milks a crossbred herd on a seasonal supply basis. It is farmed in conjunction with a dairy support block which the vendors will retain but could provide grazing and feed support for a new owner.
Predominantly irrigated via two center pivot irrigators from surface water takes, this farm has operated on a low input system designed to meet the farming goals of the vendors. An older long lateral irrigation system is not in current use. Calved 310 cows spring 2024, milk through a twenty-seven aside Herringbone shed, reared 75 replacements on farm until December 2024. Supplements fed are balage and hay.
A modern family home of four bedrooms with large north facing living area plus an older farm homestead of four bedrooms provide accommodation options. The proximity of Rangiora township with all its services, schooling options, sporting facilities and clubs, cafes and a wide assortment of retailers is only enhanced by an easy commute to the city or Christchurch airport. Plus, the beaches to the east and the mountains to the west encompass all sorts of recreational and leisure activities.
A resource consent to subdivide off three surplus houses and approximately twelve hectares of land which the vendors will retain has been approved with vendors taking the necessary steps to ensure new titles can be issued as soon as possible.
