Productive 187 ha self-contained dairy unit
Positioned in the heart of the scenic Kowhitirangi Valley, this productive 187 ha dairy unit (subject to boundary adjustment) offers an exceptional opportunity to secure a well-run, fully self-contained farming operation with strong performance and excellent infrastructure. With 182 ha of effective grazing, the farm winters all cows on approximately 6 ha of swedes, supported by pit silage, grass, and straw. The property is creek-free and thoughtfully laid out, featuring a reliable gravel lane network that provides easy access across the farm. The vendor is also offering an additional 18 ha of which 13 ha is effective for lease. Milking is carried out through a well-equipped 30 ASHB dairy shed complete with cup removers, a molasses system, generator wiring, and a recently upgraded milk room. Currently supplying Westland Milk Products, the herd of 330 Jersey-cross cows has achieved an impressive five-year average of 131,000 kgMS. Two practical weatherboard homes provide comfortable on-farm accommodation. Main Home: Three bedrooms, one bathroom, an upgraded kitchen, open-plan living with a multifuel fire, underfloor and ceiling insulation, plus a two-bay garage, woodshed, and bore water supply. Second Home: Three bedrooms, one bathroom, two living areas, ceiling insulation, with exterior repainting scheduled for this summer. The farm benefits from a mix of free-draining river soils and deeper fertile soils that support strong and consistent pasture growth. A feed pad with central wooden troughs further enhances the system. Additional improvements include concrete silage bunkers and a near-new two-bay shed with workshop and roller doors located behind the main home. The farm is conveniently situated close to the Hokitika Gorge and within easy reach of Hokitika’s amenities. A rare chance to acquire a well-appointed productive West Coast dairy unit. Stock available for purchase at valuation.
