304 Tokatoka Road, Ruawai, Kaipara, Northland

With our vendors set to retire, this is your chance to secure a top-performing 320-hectare Dairy Farm in Ruawai, spread across multiple titles. This well-established operation has had most of the major capital expenditure taken care of, offering a productive and sustainable farming future. A sale as a going concern is on the table.

Producing an impressive 219,000kgMS from 600 cows, plus rearing 500 calves on whole milk, generating an extra 12-15,000kgMS, this farm delivers results. With 210 hectares of flats and 110 hectares of gentle rolling land, the property is well set up for efficient management. Water is plentiful, reticulated from a dam and pumped to a header tank before being gravity-fed to troughs. Two additional bores service 36 paddocks on the western side, ensuring reliability. The farm is well-connected by a wide, regularly maintained limestone race network, with limestone sourced from the on-farm quarry. Effluent is managed through a three-pond system, discharged onto paddocks via slurry tanker.

Fertile, free-draining soils allow for winter milking, making the most of the region’s strengths. The property is well subdivided into 140 paddocks, ensuring optimal grazing management. Supplements produced on-farm include 20 hectares of chicory, 15 hectares of maize, and approximately 400 bales of silage. Infrastructure is strong, with a renovated 40 ASHB cowshed, a large standoff feedpad system, and a disused cowshed. Three well-maintained homes, all compliant with Healthy Homes standards, offer comfortable living, including a recently renovated manager’s cottage.

Located in a prime farming district with easy access to boat ramps, excellent fishing, and duck shooting - all just two hours from Auckland CBD. With its size, production, and potential, this is one of the finest dairy units in the Kaipara.
