Dairy - Entry Level


Turn-key entry level farm located in reliable farming district of Ermedale. Currently milking 150 cows and produced 75,303 kg MS in the 2025/26 season (1,552 kg MS/hectare and 500 kg MS/cow). Simple rectangular shape with central lane enables good access and cow flow with rolling contour overall. Property was converted in 2012 with a new 4 bedroom Stonewood brick home built, along with a well appointed 24 aside herringbone cowshed (with in-shed feeding).

Consented stand off area provides a good management tool. Property has a nice feel to it and flanked by bush on the western boundary. This opportunity would suit a couple/1st farm buyer looking to move into land ownership and run a simple operation that produces well with consistent production, in a good proven grass growing district. Property is currently leased out by owners to established dairy operators until end of this current season.
