Located just 5 minutes from Matamata township, this exceptional 74.6 hectare (more or less) dairy farm represents a truly unique opportunity—120 years of continuous family ownership since 1904, coming to market for the first time in over a century.
This well-established operation offers an outstanding balance of proven production, quality infrastructure, and lifestyle benefits, all with the unbeatable convenience of being virtually on Matamata's doorstep.
The contour is predominantly rolling (70%) with some flat country, currently supporting a well-managed 220-cow dairy operation. Production has been consistently strong with 77,693 kgMS recorded in the 2023/24 season—testament to generations of careful land stewardship. The property includes a well-maintained 20 ASHB dairy shed, large lined effluent pond with variable speed pump, three K-line sprinklers for irrigation, and reliable bore water supplying both farm and homes. The comprehensive fencing system features 7-wire boundary and 5-wire internal fencing with extra safety wires around drains.
Farm buildings complement the operation with three half-round barns used for calf rearing and storage, plus a two-bay machinery shed. Palm kernel is stored on site, and the effluent system includes a lined sump for proper disposal. The main homestead, dating from circa 1910, is full of character and offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, woodfire heating, and a generous single garage. A separate two-bedroom weatherboard cottage provides flexibility for extended family, staff, or rental income, with its own private entrance.
Located in a strong dairying district with dependable rainfall and excellent community services, this generational property combines the wisdom of four generations of land management with modern convenience—a combination rarely found in today's market. Whether you're looking to scale your current operation or step into farm ownership for the first time, this represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a legacy property that has proven its worth for over a century, just minutes from town amenities.
