Located in the heart of the Selwyn areas sought-after farming district, this 213.4735 hectare (more or less) dairy farm presents an exciting opportunity to combine farming success with an idyllic family lifestyle.

The established dairy operation produces an average of 330,000kgMS per year from 680 to 690 cows at peak milking, although the property is consented for 750 cows. The infrastructure is in place for continued success including four pivot irrigators and one RotoRainer and 54 bail rotary dairy shed equipped with ACRs, in shed feeding, lame cattle crush and ProTrack for stock management.

The flat contour property is well subdivided into approximately 30 paddocks of approximately 6.5 hectares each, a well thought out lane system connects the centrally located shed. Water for irrigation comes from Central Plains Water Limited along with one groundwater well.

The farm boasts four separate dwellings including the spacious four bedroom manager's home kept cosy in winter by the large log burner. Large families will appreciate the open-plan kitchen dining for relaxed living. Kids and pets will have plenty of safe space to play and the fantastic heated inground swimming pool is sure to be a hit in summer.

Providing excellent staff accommodation or potential rental income there are two farm cottages with three bedrooms each plus a one bedroom container home. Excellent garaging and sheds ensure ample storage for vehicles, feed, farm equipment, bikes, boats and toys.

Situated a stones throw from the Rakaia and Selwyn Rivers, the surrounding landscape offers a huge variety of outdoor adventures and activities. Christchurch CBD is within an easy commute of this prime location and all the essentials are available nearby at Rolleston or Darfield.
