This is a premium dairy farm nestled in the heart of one of New Zealand's most established farming districts. This exceptional property spans 123 ha encompassed under one title (subject to final survey), offering an excellent range of farm infrastructure, and the production consistency associated with pasture irrigation. Overview: The property is currently supplying Fonterra and milks approximately 300 cows at a stocking rate of 2.4 cows/ha. The farm is split by Galatea Road, with a stock underpass connecting each side. The eastern block is near flat, while the western block features gently undulating terrain and historic river terraces. This part of the property backs onto the Rangitaiki River. Farm Infrastructure: The farm features a modern 40-aside Highline Herringbone dairy shed with cup removers and automatic plant wash.

Fencing is in excellent condition, with a mix of multi-wire post and batten and electric internal fencing. Water is sourced from a bore near the dairy shed. Irrigation water is via surface water take consent from the Rangitaiki River, allowing irrigation of approximately 100 hectares via a lateral line and sprinkler system.
