This well-run, large-scale dairy operation near Mossburn offers a strong combination of productive land, quality infrastructure and a favourable consent position. The property is set up for efficient management, with a quality automated 60 bail dairy shed complemented by Halter technology, providing efficiency for day-to-day operations. Four good homes. The farm produced 507,251 kg MS in 2025/26 (ex 1,000 cows).
A significant advantage is the adjoining runoff, providing the opportunity to manage grazing and supplementary feed requirements within the farming business, reducing reliance on external graziers and offering greater control over operating costs. Seldom do dairy properties of this scale, supported by adjoining land, become available to the market. A substantial farming opportunity in excellent heart with the infrastructure and flexibility to increase cow numbers if required.
