This attractive and well-established dairy farm features a varied topography, ranging from flat to steep terrain. Spanning approximately 160 hectares, the property includes a 70-hectare dairy platform that provides Fonterra with an average of 91,000kg MS over the past three years, milking a herd of 180 cows. The dairy facility is equipped with a 16-a-side herringbone milking shed, complemented by an in-shed feeding system. The farm is well-equipped with various support structures, including a four-bay implement shed, a workshop that includes a one-bedroom suite, a five-bay calf shed/workshop outfitted with 80 solar panels that power the main homestead, and a twelve-bay calf rearing shed. In addition to dairy operations, the farm also supports a small herd of Hereford breeding cows on the steeper areas of the property. Water is sourced from a very stable spring and is distributed throughout the farm via a reticulated system. 10ha at the back of the farm bordering Hamilton Road is leased to a neighbour.

The expansive primary residence is situated in a prominent location on a raised plot, featuring mature trees and landscaped gardens, along with an in-ground swimming pool. This property comprises six bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets, two distinct lounges, family room, kitchen, dining area, and an office. Second dwelling is a modern 10 year old, 3 bedroom house. There is also a one bedroom single man's unit with kitchen and bathroom attached to the implement shed.

The retiring owner is a descendant of the Hamilton's who first settled in the area in the 1860s. Roughly 30km to the main township of Waiuku, or 3 km to Awhitu township that hosts the local primary school, a small foodmart and takeaways, church and fire station.
