Low-cost, self-contained dairy system

Framed by the scenic Waimana Valley and surrounding hill country, 138 Raroa Road presents a substantial 153.5545-hectare farming opportunity.

The property brings together two distinct farming components, the first being a milking platform of approximately 75-hectares which is mostly highly productive flats and the balance perfect as a dairy support or beef block. The property is entirely in grass, with the dairy farm predominantly subdivided by two wire electric fencing. Water is reticulated from a spring within the property. High-quality and well drained raceways have been developed from an on-farm pumice quarry and gravel from the banks of a stream that runs through the property.

The new effluent system is a real stand out feature and certainly has future proofed the farm. Further farm improvements include a six-bay round hay barn, a four-bay round hay barn with a concrete floor, and an implement shed of approximately 400sqm with a concrete floor and roller door. Kirkbride Road provides approximately 1.8 kilometres of council road access to the northern boundary.

Three accommodation options provide flexibility for owners, extended family, farm staff or supplementary income, comprising a three-bedroom main residence with three car garaging and adjoining granny flat with full bathroom facilities. There is an additional three-bedroom farm managers home with double car garage and a third smaller two-bedroom home.

A rating valuation is the council's figure for apportioning rates, not a market appraisal. Sale prices are as published; a code beside a price is the council's sale type — hover it for what it means. “Off the market” only means the property stopped being advertised: it may have sold, been withdrawn or moved to another agency.
