Entry Level Dairy Farm


Entry level dairy unit with rolling contour, ideally situated within close proximity to Gore (10 minutes). The dairy farm is currently run as a grass based system that produced 111,707kg MS in the 2023/24 season.

Good functional 17 aside herringbone cowshed and added benefit of Redpath barn home that can house 200 cows. Water and dairy effluent is consented through until 2027. The farm has two good houses and other support buildings.

The farm is managed under a variable milking regime and should the purchaser install in-shed feeding there is production upside.

If the purchaser wishes, there is an option for the vendor to subdivide (already approved by council) off the main house at front of farm and sell the dairy unit of 128 hectares (subject to final survey). Price is $3,299,000 plus GST (if any) for overall farm, and slightly smaller dairy farm of 128 hectares is $2,799,000 Plus GST (if any).
