Guinness World Record Cropping Farm


Alvia Farm presents a versatile Otama farming property, operated under a grain and sheep system. Farmed under the current tenure for over 50 years, with part of the property remaining in the family for 90 years, Alvia has maintained consistently high farming and maintenance standards and gained recognition for its environmental management and other achievements.

The farm has an outstanding production history, including Guinness World Record wheat yields of 15.363t/ha in 2007 and 15.636t/ha in 2010. This proven performance is supported by quality silt loam soils, flat contour and strong fertility.

The character three-bedroom homestead features distinctive gables and native rimu, set within private, sheltered grounds. Renovations, double glazing and efficient heating add to its appeal. Farm infrastructure includes a good internal lane system, a substantial nine-bay shed with four being high pitched, concrete floor bays suited to grain and fertiliser storage, a four-bay shed with lockable chemical storage, and a two-stand woolshed.

Held in three well-shaped titles of approximately 67ha, 63ha and 49ha, the property offers genuine purchasing flexibility.
