Premium soils, proven performance, prime location

Located on the boundary of the Palmerston North City, 1063 Kairanga Bunnythorpe Road is a highly-productive 288 ha dairy unit combining scale, quality infrastructure, and some of the Manawatu's best soils. The property comprises flat Te Arakura and Kairanga silt loams, renowned for their fertility and ability to sustain growth year-round. Supported by a 107m stock water bore, excellent fencing, and well-formed races, the farm is designed for efficient operation and consistent results. Currently peak-milking 800 cows under a System 3 model, the unit is well supported by extensive improvements. These include a 50-bail rotary cowshed, large calf and implement sheds, feedpad, standoff pads, silage bunkers, and a modern twin-pond effluent system with 90 days storage. Cows are wintered on farm, with the system supported by maize and grass silage - some maize grown on farm and grass silage brought in. Well-planned races and strong internal fencing provide reliable access and stock management. Accommodation is well provided for, with a 5-bedroom homestead and 3 other homes providing flexibility for family living or team requirements. With its proven production, fertile soils, comprehensive infrastructure, and prime location adjoining Palmerston North's boundary, this property offers a rare chance to secure a complete, large-scale dairy operation in the heart of the Manawatu.

395 Te Para Para Road presents an exciting opportunity to purchase a highly productive 161-hectare property in the heart of northern Manawatu. The Rangiwahia area is renowned for its strong farming heritage and is a comfortable 45-minute drive from both Feilding and Taihape. The property combines highly productive soils with beautiful aesthetic appeal, including a nationally recognised arboretum. The farm offers an excellent balance of contour, with over 100 hectares cultivable and the remainder comprising rolling to medium hill country with strategic native and introduced plantings. The fertile Kiwitea loam soils, supported by regular fertiliser applications and effective drainage, provide a strong base for productive farming. Currently, a proportion of the farm is utilised as a dairy platform/support block by an adjoining landowner. Reticulated spring water, established subdivision and a well-formed track network further enhance the efficiency and productivity of the property. Improvements include a spacious four-bedroom home with open-plan living and a double garage, a three-stand woolshed with covered yards, a new four-bay pole shed, two hay sheds and well-equipped cattle yards. Currently leased, with the lease expiring in May 2028 (unless the owner wishes to continue leasing the land out), this farm represents an attractive investment offering scale, versatility and strong infrastructure in a sought-after farming district.
