Strategic Farming Opportunity in South Canterbury

A Prime South Canterbury Investment Awaits

I was in South Canterbury the other week with Michael Richardson, our local agent, and he was delighted to confirm he’d just been given the opportunity to market Longridge, a brilliant 498-hectare farm with 440 hectares effective, located in the farming community of Maugati. He also noted the supporting option to purchase an additional 147 hectares of neighbouring bare land too.

Opportunities to actually buy a beef finishing property at scale, supported by excellent subdivision and quality improvements, are rare in South Canterbury.

In the last five years, there have only been a handful of sales at this level. Hence, properties like this historically don’t stay on the market long.

Longridge has been strategically farmed by the vendor to get the most out of the land. The property is a well-balanced farm, rolling to flat, with some steeper areas planted.

The farm’s strategic subdivision into 185 paddocks is perfect for beef and dairy grazing and is a very efficient farming operation. A tidy, five-bedroom home, built in 2005, complements the farm with a second three-bedroom home on the property also.

With a reliable climate, easy access to Timaru and Temuka Sale Yards, plus excellent schooling options, this farm has the x-factor many are looking for.

We’ve taken the opportunity to highlight this property because it can deliver real options for those looking to bring all their dairy grazing and or bull beef production under one operating model. The farm has 440ha effective and is scalable with a further 147ha on offer.

This type of country has not been captured by the same level of interest from ‘pasture to trees’ in recent times, so in a relative sense, it has been good shopping for a while and well ahead of traditional sheep and beef farming systems.

So, we thought we’d ring the bell on this one, better still ring Michael Richardson on 027 228 7027 or email michael@pb.co.nz. Explore the listing by clicking here.
