A rare opportunity to secure a high-performing dairy operation just minutes from the Edendale Fonterra factory on SH1. This highly productive farm features flat to gently undulating land with predominantly renowned Edendale soils, known for their fertility, reliability, and suitability for dairying and horticultural use.
The modern, fully automated 54-bail rotary shed, built in 2018, is equipped with Automatic Cup Removers (ACRs) and Protrack technology, optimising efficiency and herd management. With seven housing options, this property offers excellent accommodation for both owners and staff. Additionally, the vendor leases two farms of 61 hectares (has 4 herd homes that can hold 360 cows) and 35 hectares, enhancing the overall scale of the operation. The farm has new consents out to 2035, consented for 1,500 cows.
The property is on track to produce 657,000 kg MS from 1,250 cows in the 2025/26 season. A high-performing 50/50 sharemilker is contracted until May 2029, which mitigates operational risks for the new owners. New purchaser can look to continue with the 50/50 sharemilking structure post 2029, or use the next three seasons to transition into the property and run their own management system for the 2029/30 season.
Units of this scale are few and far between in Southland, particularly in a prime location with quality soils and a modern rotary shed. The preferred settlement date is over the winter of 2026, with an alternative option in June 2027. This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a quality asset with further milk production potential.
