This well-presented farm is on the market after the retirement of both sharemilker and vendors after 25 years.
It’s currently milking 125 cows on 70ha for 36,246kg milksolids last season, and 120 calves reared on whole milk.
Gerard Ponsonby of LJ Hooker Kaitaia said the property was an ideal one-person farm with plenty of scope for improvement.
“There’s potential to milk on approximately 85ha with the support of the steeper country pasture,” he said
The property features excellent flats with 5ha of mature forest, which is milkable if cleared. There is also a tidy three-bedroom home with sunroom and office, a 12-aside herringbone dairy with new refrigeration unit, new vat stand and new vat auto washer, and good support buildings.
Located at Herekino, the farm is 20 minutes’ drive from Kaitaia, an excellent service centre for all farming and household needs.
The farm boasts both harbour and estuary recreational areas and a variety of outdoor activities including fishing, diving, and pig hunting.
“There is enormous family appeal and a wonderful rural lifestyle on offer. This is the ideal purchase for a keen young farmer in an increased milking area,” Ponsonby said
Vendors will consider all realistic offers, excluding Fonterra shares.
