Daniel Reed of Bayleys Nelson is marketing the multi-faceted property which is home to Moutere Hills Dairy in Eggers Road, Upper Moutere, in the popular Tasman farming district.

He said it offers a unique business opportunity for a forward-thinking new owner who can capitalise on the vision of the enterprising couple who own the property.

“The hard work has been done, and the major investment made to create highly desirable, artisan A2 Guernsey cheeses for a ready and evolving market,” Reed said.

“This property runs the only commercial herd of Guernsey cows in the South Island, and no expense has been spared in making this property a model, small-scale dairy farm.

“A new owner may wish to remain an artisan producer, or take the farm to a new level to meet demand which is growing throughout the country for the cheeses containing the A2 protein.”

The two cheeses produced by the dairy – a creamy Camembert and a farmhouse cheese – both won bronze medals in the NZ Cheese Awards earlier this year.

The cheese-making facility is all under one roof and includes a climate-controlled chiller, and a processing room.

The 312m2 homestead set in woodland gardens was built last year to high specifications and offers four bedrooms, generous living spaces and broad verandas. There is an adjacent sizeable workshop, multiple sheds, garage and storage space with three-phase power.

There is a 150m deep bore feed from the western aquifer along with two 30,000 litre storage tanks and an irrigation pond with extraction rights. Two creeks also run through the property.

In addition, the property has an extra dimension with a 40m x 20m equestrian arena for horse lovers.

“The combination of peaceful, rural lifestyle living plus a business of significant income potential is a rare find,” Reed said.
