Springston Starter - Entry level first farm
Located on the outskirts of Springston, this 106-hectare dairy platform offers an opportunity to secure an affordable and proven farm within one of Canterbury’s most accessible dairy regions. With a strong production history and a reliable operator already in place, this property provides flexibility for a wide range of buyers, from first-time owners to investors seeking a managed rural asset. This farm is available as three purchase options: Option 1: Whole property including the 1-hectare lifestyle property Option 2: Main property (106.1 hectares) excluding the 1-hectare lifestyle property Option 3: Passive investor option – Either option 1 or 2 and Sharemilker stays on and the farm continues to be run as is Faithfully farmed by the same family for 66 years, the property has consistently performed season after season. The land is flat and highly productive, with fertile soils and full K-line irrigation supplied via a 140-metre deep well. Dairy infrastructure is practical and well laid out, featuring a 28-bail rotary shed with NuPulse plant, meal feeding system, and yard capacity for approximately 400 cows. Production has typically ranged between 185,000 and 200,000 kgMS from a herd of similar size under the current sharemilker. Support infrastructure includes multiple sheds for storage and implements, with well-formed laneways providing easy access across the property. Water is drawn from the deep bore for both irrigation and stock supply, and the overall layout allows for efficient management and rotation. Strategically positioned within 10 minutes of Lincoln and Rolleston and around 30 minutes from Christchurch, the location provides a clear advantage when it comes to staffing, services, and schooling. This level of accessibility is seldom found in Canterbury dairy properties, making it equally appealing to hands-on operators and investors seeking strong, stable returns. Opportunities of this type are becoming increasingly hard to find. Genuine entry-level scale, reliable infrastructure, and a location that continues to strengthen in value. For those looking to establish themselves in the industry, invest in a productive asset, or expand an existing operation, this Springston platform delivers on every measure.
