This well presented dairy farm was converted in 2015 with an eye for simplicity, presentation, and management ease. At the time, the entire farm was regrassed with significant drainage. Effective farm area is 98% of titled area. The farm is a simple rectangular shape, with central lane servicing one paddock either side. All paddocks double troughed. Centrally located 44 aside herringbone (50 aside pit) with in-shed feeding. 450 cow effluent consent, expiring in 2034. Produced 251,378 kg MS in the 2024/25 season which is 1,933 kg MS/ha and 559 kg MS/cow. Three year average of 244,771 kg MS. Two good houses and array of sheds. Great location on door step of Waianiwa with excellent schools close by, all amenities in Invercargill or Riverton. A very profitable farm for the owners and always operated with a 50/50 sharemilker structure. Owners cost structure last season was $1.72/kg MS. If your searching for a productive quality farm, viewing is a must.
