Complementary Dairy Units - Motivated Vendors


Country and Co Realty are privileged to present this 155ha proven dairy unit to the market. Offering multiple purchasing options, this property is suited to an array of farming types.

The farm features two dairy sheds, which, last season for the first time, were operated individually on two separate titles. The contour is predominantly flat to rolling, with some steeper sidlings, and the property benefits from two separate consents: one for 350 cows until 2033, and the other for 200 cows through to 2031. Last season, the farm peak milked 330 cows, producing a total of 159,521kg MS, while wintering 150 cows.

Farm infrastructure includes three homes, a 30-bail rotary cowshed, a 30-aside herringbone shed, a self-contained sleep-out, a consented calving barn, and multiple support buildings. Water supply is source from two bores on the property. Good access throughout via maintained lanes along with an underpass to each dairy shed.

The vendors are motivated and ready to move on to their next chapter. There are three sale options: the total 155ha dairy unit, a 70ha dairy unit, or an 85ha dairy unit.
