The property is of mixed contour with 73ha of pastoral land currently used for dairying, and the balance of steeper contour around the perimeter of the property planted in pine forest managed under a joint partnership with the bonus of future revenue on maturity.
Sam Troughton of Bayleys Waikato said the Buckland Road property was conservatively milking 155 mixed-age cows and grazing some replacements.
“Retiring vendors are currently operating the farm on a low-cost pasture-based system providing plenty of potential for a keen young farmer.”
The farm has an excellent water supply and is well raced and subdivided, with good fertile Tirau ash soils and strong healthy pastures.
The farm’s infrastructure includes a tidy 16-aside herringbone dairy, two three-bay implement or calf-rearing sheds, and a four-bay hay shed.
A generous four-bedroom home is elevated, offering grandstand views across the stunning rural landscape to Mt Te Aroha in the north along the Kaimai Range to the Mamakus in the west.
Amenities and essential services are 15 to 20 minutes away in Matamata or Cambridge, while it’s an easy 35-minute commute to Hamilton city. On your boundary is New Zealand’s number one tourist destination, Hobbiton.
“This is an ideal first farm with potential for a new entrant to the dairy industry, or simply use for dairy support and watch your heifers grow,” Troughton said.
