This well-presented Eastern Southland dairy unit delivers clean pastures, strong regrassing history, good fertility and tidy laneways. A proven low-cost system producing a consistent 110,000 - 115,000 kgMS from approximately 300 cows, milked twice daily until Christmas then on a 16-hour programme through season end. Effluent consent to 350 cows through to 2032, gives an incoming purchaser confidence and clear headroom to increase cow numbers, lift production and grow returns over time.
A recently upgraded effluent system, quality farm buildings, and a comfortable four-bedroom homestead plus additional cottage complete a well-equipped package. Vendors are open to in-season settlement with cows available at valuation. The vendors' 125 ha run-off is also available - a ready-made support block for wintering cows, growing supplement or carrying youngstock. A well-rounded, scalable Southland operation well worth investigating.
