Located just fifteen minutes from Ohope beach and just inland from Ohiwa Harbour, the mild coastal climate certainly is a great benefit of the location. This 175.3785 hectare (more or less) farm is in three similar sized titles which could be sold separately. Currently 300 dairy cows are milked through a 24 bail rotary cowshed. All stock is wintered on.
Well-formed access and raceways allow for useful stock control and movement. The property is separated by State Highway 2 and an underpass manages access to both sides of the property.
The milking platform is 140 hectares (more or less) mostly flat to rolling, with the remaining young stock area being a mix of hill and steeper sidlings. Well-fenced, with two wire electric and traditional seven wire batten. Soil tests show good fertility and water is supplied by various springs, streams and a well on the property, no shortage here. Although not guaranteed, the area is regarded as relatively summer safe.
Further improvements include two staff houses, each on their own title, a large barn that incorporates a calf rearing facility, a small shearing shed, cattle yards and several barns along with a 300-tonne silage bunker.
A newly consented effluent system will be commissioned prior to settlement.
This is a sizable property for the Eastern Bay of Plenty and certainly can grow grass. Make sure you make the time to view this highly regarded farm.
