Multi Use Property, Consented Dairy Support


Country & Co are privileged to present this diverse Northern Southland property located just 12.5km from Lumsden and 14km from Balfour, boasting stunning views of the Waimea valley.

Currently run as a sheep and beef block, the farm has a dairy grazing consent to reasonably high levels and could present options for cereal production or deer with 50% of the property deer fenced including all of the hill. Well balanced property with contour ranging from flat to medium hill and having good access throughout including internal lanes for ease of management.

There is a character modernised six bedroom homestead in a well established park like setting that presents a kids paradise complete with astro tennis court. Infrastructure includes a three stand woolshed with covered sheep yards, nine bay implement shed with two bay workshop, two bay storage shed and a modern set of cattle yards. The farm has been well managed and cared for with re-investment into lanes, regrassing and ongoing maintenance of drainage and fertiliser.

Given the 130ha neighbouring block for sale and 397ha lease option (in whole or part), there is opportunity for scale. Seldom do we have diverse blocks of this standard.
