Proven Dairy Unit - Motivated Sellers


Country & Co are proud to present the Tervit family's home dairy farm to the market, an excellent opportunity for first farm purchasers or those looking to step into the dairy industry. Featuring predominantly flat to rolling contour with some steeper sidlings, the property is consented for 350 cows through to 2033 and currently peak milks 180 cows, with last season's production reaching 90,999kg MS.

Farm infrastructure is well set up, including a 30-bail rotary cowshed, two calf sheds, a workshop, and multiple additional support buildings. Accommodation is well catered for with a pleasant 3 bedroom + office home, a second 3 bedroom dwelling, and a sleepout complete with kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The property benefits from a reliable bore water supply reticulated to every paddock and a strong balance of Tuturau and Jacobstown soils, with all paddocks re-grassed within the past decade.

The vendors are motivated and ready to move onto their next chapter, with their additional dairy farm at 539 Mataura Island Fortrose Road also available, historically farmed in conjunction with this unit via an underpass. Contact the sole agent today to arrange further details or viewing.
