For the first time in 118 years, this exceptional 308-hectare property, Tahara is being offered to the market by our retiring vendor. Located just 35 km west of Hastings, in the renowned farming district of Maraekakaho, this property is currently operated as a highly productive intensive cattle and lamb finishing farm. With over 250 hectares of flat to undulating land all in superior pastures, Tahara is extensively subdivided into 28 main paddocks with conventional fencing, all serviced by a central laneway for ease of stock movement and access. The excellent reticulated water system throughout the property has enabled it to carry in excess of 600 cattle and up to 1500 trade lambs. Accommodation is provided by a modernised homestead set in mature, well-kept grounds, offering encompassing views over the property. A three-bedroom cottage and shearers accommodation provide ample staff housing or secondary income opportunities. Farming infrastructure consists of a 3-stand woolshed and yards, cattle yards with load-out and handling facilities, and an extensive range of implement, workshop, and hay sheds. Property Brokers are privileged to present such a well-maintained and productive property in a tightly held farming location.
