Coastal Dairy Unit with Upside


Located near Tuatapere, this coastal dairy property offers quality infrastructure, easy management and genuine production upside. Predominantly flat to easy contour, complemented by a central lane system throughout, provides ease of management.
Converted to dairy around 2010, the farm is well equipped with a 30-aside herringbone cowshed with ACRs and in-shed feeding, 54m x 9m calving barn, feed pad, and good support shedding.
A spacious three-bedroom home and separate two-bedroom cottage provide good housing options. The 350-cow consent through to 2032 allows certainty for future operations and production upside, while the coastal setting, rural views and pockets of native bush add further appeal.
