Outstanding Summer Safe Dairy Support Property

A beautifully presented and well developed, summer safe farm. The 114ha block is bareland and has undergone significant refencing, re-pasturing and has an excellent stock water system.

This block has been faithfully farmed, with a mixture of arable (including some wheat, radish and peas), hogget grazing all year round, lamb finishing and cattle grazing including summer and winter crops for up to 2 year old beef steers.

The property is consented for dairy support and allowing a maximum of 11ha intensive winter feed. Well subdivided for ease of management, movement of stock and decent sheep/young cattle handling facilities complement the property. With annual rainfall of 950-1,000mm and heavy soils, this property holds on well in the summer and dryer periods, and with the extensive drainage that has been installed, the property does drain well in the wetter periods.

With attractive elevated building sites, good access off two separate roads (Beckwiths Road and Wairiri Road), plenty of local rural scheme water and power in close proximity, there really is an opportunity to add plenty of personal touches to this block. There is also the added bonus of having 20 hectares accepted into the 1BT program and now mostly planted in trees and covered by the approved government Redwood Tree grants - approximately 12 - 13 hectares are currently planted and the remaining 7 - 8 hectares as soon as trees are available.

Well located, within an easy hours drive of Christchurch, approximately 20 minutes to Darfield and 30 minutes to Mt Hutt in an area that is growing.
