This fertile, 97ha (more or less) farm is a great opportunity for first farm buyers located as it is in the family friendly community of Wharepapa South.

Infrastructure includes a 16 aside herringbone dairy shed with in-shed meal feeding system, concrete feedpad, concrete based fert bin, implement and calf sheds. Effluent is dealt with through a concrete tank system spread by a travelling irrigator. Recent production (2019) was over 78,000 kilograms milk solids from a herd of around 240 cows. Located in an area of consistent rainfall. The dairy platform is estimated to be 88ha (more or less). Around 18ha (more or less) is kept for silage and five ha (more or less) for turnips, in addition 24 tonne of palm kernel extract is brought in. Calves head off in December, returning in June.

There's an exciting mix of contour ranging from flat to easy rolling at the front of the farm, with some steeper sidlings towards the back providing options to raise beef cattle for a second income stream. The farm is well fenced and raced, there's an onsite quarry and water is from a bore source.

Accommodation is well catered for with an elevated three bedroom home showing the benefits of recent refurbishments to the kitchen and living area plus a new double garage with sleepout room. The family will enjoy the native bush clad sidling above the duck pond and along the back boundary the picturesque Maungakomua Stream has a decent waterfall!

This popular location offers a great lifestyle, it's a short drive to Lakes Arapuni and Maraetai for fishing or to a number of popular hunting spots around Arohena and Pureora. There's easy access to nearby Wharepapa Primary and the Te Awamutu College bus stops at the gate. All other amenities can be found in Te Awamutu or Putaruru, both around thirty kilometres away.

This well set up farm will suit an enterprising first farm owner or to be run as part of a larger operation.
