If you've been watching the market, looking for a proven, productive dairy farm in a well-known and highly regarded location, you'll know all too well that they're few and far between.
Welcome to 1707/1780 & 1436 Takaka Valley Highway - a property that truly offers it all, with multiple purchase options on the table and exciting future potential for the next caretaker of this exceptional piece of real estate.
Purchase options include:
Entire block - 5 house, 3 cows sheds, approx. 294 ha
Milking platform block (without 1436 support block) - approx. 194 ha
1436 Takaka Valley - approx. 99.76 ha
This proven and productive block has consistently delivered, with a three-year average production of 214,617 MS and peak cow numbers around 550 all running Allflex collars. The main farm is unique, featuring two cow sheds - a 30 A/S herringbone with cup removers and auto teat sprayer, plus Auto draft gate, and a 20 A/S herringbone - located on either side of the road and connected by an underpass. This setup gives excellent flexibility and options for future operation.
The farm also includes a range of calf, hay, and implement sheds, and is currently running two herds. The milking platform across the entire property covers approximately 187 ha of fertile river flats, with a generous resource consent to irrigate 20 ha via centre pivot, and a further 167 ha via K-line. The main block also has three solid homes, all Healthy Homes compliant - two four-bedroom houses and one three-bedroom home.
1436 Takaka Valley Highway adjoins the main property and was a fantastic addition to the farm. This 100 ha (approx.) support and winter grazing block was previously a standalone dairy farm and last milked in 2022. It offers the flexibility to continue with the current operation, add to the milking platform, or purchase it as a standalone farm. Improvements include two homes - a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom house refurbished in 2022, and a three-bedroom cottage - plus the original 20 A/S herringbone cow shed with 20 aside herringbone with in-shed feeding system and grain silo, implement shed, hay shed, and silage pit.
Opportunities of this scale and scope don't come along often - so grab the bull by the horns and get in touch to find out more.
