Discover the potential of 24 Smith Road, a remarkable 79-hectare flat dairy farm nestled along the scenic Thornton coastline, just 15 kilometres west of Whakatāne.

Over the past three seasons, the farm has achieved impressive production, peaking at 92,440kg MS and averaging 88,347kg MS, thanks to an effective milking platform that includes a 10.58-hectare lease and a supplementary 12ha run-off block.

Milking 250 cows, the farm winter feeds 150 cows on-site and utilises an average of 200–211 tonnes of palm kernel to sustain its operations. With a spring-only calving system, approximately 70 calves are reared each season and returned as R2s.

The property features a well-appointed home. This residence is a 1930s-40s three-bedroom, single bathroom family home that has been renovated over recent years.

It boasts open-plan living, a sunroom, metro insert fireplace, and a large brick double garage/workshop as well as another single standing roller door garage.

Enjoy peaceful rural views over the farm from this home’s sheltered outdoor living area. The house meets the Healthy Homes standard.

Key farm buildings include a 30-aside Herringbone cowshed and load out ramp; a lined effluent pond with a long-term discharge consent, and a newly constructed three-bay calf rearing shed and hay barn. There is also a large brick double garage/workshop and another single standing roller door garage.

Conveniently located near Thornton Primary School, local beaches, and essential services in Whakatāne, this property is a prime opportunity.
