With 153.5545 hectares to explore, visitors to the open days at this Waimana Valley property are advised to bring their own motorbike – or horse.

The next open day viewing is scheduled for Thursday next week when prospective buyers will have the opportunity to fully discover this substantial dairy opportunity which combines scale with mixed farming capability, extensive accommodation and infrastructure.

It’s a property of two halves – both distinct components that farmers will appreciate and see value in. The first is a milking platform of approximately 75 hectares, which is mostly highly productive flats.

The attached 75ha, more or less, is ideal for grazing, either as dairy support or a beef block.

The property is supporting up to 200 milking cows, along with 90 replacement carryovers and 15 bulls.

Cows are milked in a 16-aside herringbone dairy shed, with new milk chilling unit, and the farm has a three-year average production of 68,592kgMS.

Accommodation is well provided across the property with three housing options providing flexibility for the owners, extended family, farm staff or as rental income.

The main residence is a comfortable three-bedroom home with three-car garaging and adjoining granny flat with full bathroom facilities. Around the home is full fenced for children and pets.

Elsewhere on the farm, there is a three-bedroom farm manager’s home with double car garage and a third, smaller, two-bedroom home.

The property is entirely in grass, with the dairy farm predominantly subdivided by two wire electric fencing. Water is reticulated from a spring within the property.

High-quality and well drained raceways have been developed from the on-farm pumice quarry and gravel from the banks of the tree-lined stream that meanders through the property, separating the flats from the rolling hill grazing.

One of the stand-out features of the property is the new effluent system, which provides security for future owners.

There has also been significant investment in shed infrastructure including a six-bay round hay barn, a four-bay round hay barn with a concrete floor, and a large implement shed of approximately 400sqm with a concrete floor and roller door.

The farm is well located, just a few minutes from the Waimana township and within 30 minutes of both Whakatāne and Ōpōtiki.
