First Class Dairy Farming Portfolio

Property Brokers is proud to present this unrivalled opportunity to acquire a significant dairy farming business – a portfolio running 6,820 cows, producing 2,863,000 kgMS (25/26 season) across 2,839 hectares. A well-established operation, this portfolio is built around five high performing dairy farms – Emerald, Hudson, Ardlui, Cumberland and Appleton – delivering a balanced mix of scale, efficiency and production. The diversity across the assets provides operational flexibility and strength across varying farming conditions. Strategically located in proven dairy districts, the portfolio benefits from reliable water, quality soils and well-developed infrastructure. The farms are well laid out, maintained to a high standard and operated under consistent management practices, supporting strong and repeatable production outcomes. The operation is partly self-contained, providing control and efficiency across the portfolio. Its scale and spread offer resilience, along with the ability to adapt systems to suit market and seasonal conditions. It is supported by a capable and established team of 30+ staff, with systems and management structures already in place to ensure a smooth transition for new owners. The properties are offered for sale either in their entirety as a complete portfolio, in any combination, or individually, and are initially being marketed through non-binding expressions of interest. A rare chance to secure scale, performance and proven production in one of New Zealand’s most desirable dairy regions — a genuine once-in-a-generation opportunity.
