In the heart of the Waikato, between Hamilton and Morrinsville, is this 128 hectare (more or less) dairy farm which is a good sound productive unit.

The property is milking up to 420 cows with a 200kgMS per day winter milk contract supplying Synlait Dairy Company.

The farm is well set up with a 40 aside Don Chapman dairy with ACR's and in-shed meal feeders.

The buildings are mostly sited on the elevated clay loam portion of the property with the flats being peaty loam.

Good shedding for calves and machinery storage is mostly near the working hub along with a workshop with concrete floor.

Well-formed races fan out to the 60 paddocks with fencing being permanent on the boundary and 2 and 4 wire electric internally.

Production has been to 154,336 kgMS supplemented with meal, grass and maize silage plus some mix from a nearby goat farm. Twenty hectares of maize is grown on farm annually.

Effluent from dairy and the covered Smart Shelter concrete feed pad goes to two holding bunkers through a weeping wall into a 5 million litre lined pond from where it may be stored or pumped via a travelling irrigator covering around 40 hectares.

Water is sourced from a bore (100m) with submersible to holding tanks and is filtered through an iRon filtration unit. It is then pumped through 40, 32, 25 and 20mm alkathene water lines to all paddocks.

There are three dwellings on the farm with the main being a three-bedroom brick home with open plan living and double garage. The second home has three bedrooms with a sleepout attached to the double garage. The third home has two bedrooms and a carport.

With its location and set up for ease of management, this unit should appeal. The Vendors are exiting the industry so stock and machinery may also be available. Well worth the look.
