Attractive Entry Level Dairy Farm


Entry level dairy unit with medium contour, well located in Eastern Southland. Fonterra Edendale factory is 14km from the farm. Easy access to Invercargill and Gore for all amenities. The farm has run a mix of full platform of late but historically grazed some young stock/cows on farm.

The farm is well presented, with current consent in place for 275 cows until 2032.
