With our vendor ready to move on, this is your chance to secure a productive 320-hectare dairy farm near Ruawai, spread over seventeen titles. This established operation has had most major capital works completed, offering a smooth handover and strong platform for future farming. Sale as a going concern is available.
The farm has a proven record, producing a three-year average of 224,273kgMS from 590 cows, plus rearing 500 calves on whole milk for an extra 12-15,000kgMS. The layout is efficient, with 210 hectares of flat land and 110 hectares of gentle rolling country. Water is reliable, reticulated from a dam to a header tank, then gravity-fed to troughs, with two bores servicing 36 western paddocks. A wide, maintained limestone race network - sourced from the on-farm quarry - ensures excellent access. Effluent is handled through a three-pond system and spread by slurry tanker.
Free-draining soils support winter milking and strong year-round production. The farm is divided into 140 paddocks, with on-farm supplements including 30 hectares of chicory, 15 hectares of maize, and about 400 bales of silage. Infrastructure includes a renovated 40 ASHB cowshed, a large feedpad/standoff area, and a disused cowshed. Three tidy homes, including a renovated manager's cottage, provide comfortable accommodation.
Located in a strong farming district with easy access to boat ramps, fishing, and duck shooting, and just two hours from Auckland, this is a top-performing dairy unit offering scale, production, and potential in the heart of the Kaipara.
