Mossburn Dairy Support


This property is a specialist Northern Southland dairy support unit, well set up and currently running 400 R1 and 400 R2 dairy animals and sundry beef. The property is predominantly flat/gentle contour with some medium contour. Intensively subdivided and laned with stock water system in place. Excellent regrassing history as well as a winter cropping programme. The infrastructure over the property is hard to fault with a well appointed 220sqm home comprising four bedrooms that was built in 2016. Excellent support sheds, horse arena and robust set of Te Pari cattle yards. The property has also wintered 400 cows in the reference period. Scale is sound with the land area justifying having staff based on the farm rather than onerous travel. The property is in two titles and therefore provides options to purchase a smaller land holding with the home and sheds, and a bareland dairy support area with the cattle yards. Land areas are flexible and can be tailored to purchaser requirements. Ideal addition to a Southland dairy operation for control.
