Genuine cash cow
Low-cost water sets this property apart. This 75-hectare (more or less) property represents a genuine entry-level opportunity or a profitable addition to an existing farming operation.
Currently milking approximately 230 cows, the property has achieved a three-year average production of 108,946kgMS, demonstrating reliable output from a compact platform, with the majority of the farm irrigated by pivot and the balance covered by longline sprinklers.
Infrastructure is functional and fit for purpose, centred around a 26-aside herringbone shed with Read plant and supported by a 360-cow yard, allowing for straightforward stock management and efficient milking.
Solid staff housing is provided on farm, offering comfortable accommodation and supporting day-to-day operations. Outside of milking, recreational activities are right on your doorstep, with an abundance of ski fields. A purpose-built hut on the boundary of the property would be any hunter/fisherman's dream.
A tidy, proven unit with established production history, low-cost water and practical infrastructure, well-suited to those looking to secure their first dairy farm or add a productive support platform to an existing operation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
Free. Takes about a minute.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
