Productive Dry Stock Unit With Scenic Views

Situated at 221 Docherty Creek Road, this 104-hectare freehold property is uniquely split across two separate titles - a 60-hectare freehold “home block” containing the dwelling and main infrastructure, and a nearby 40-hectare freehold “runoff block” providing additional grazing and support land. Together, these titles offer a superb balance of productive farmland, quality infrastructure, and comfortable living in a scenic Franz Josef setting. With approximately 80 hectares of effective land across the two properties, plus an additional 12 hectares of DOC lease, the property is well suited to dry stock or dairy-support operations.
The farm has a proven history of performance, currently rearing more than 400 calves annually, grazing around 100 dairy heifers from October to May, milking 25-30 cows through August-December, and wintering 90-100 yearling bulls or beef cattle. Over recent years, the owners have undertaken extensive improvements, including a major regrassing programme, capital fertiliser applications, upgraded fencing, and a reliable water supply to all paddocks. Lane access services much of the home block, supporting efficient stock management.
The home is a well-presented three-bedroom dwelling, featuring two large double bedrooms, a third bedroom, renovated kitchen, open-plan living and dining, a separate laundry and pantry, and excellent outdoor living spaces with a large concrete deck and a sheltered rear area.
Supporting the farming operation is a strong set of buildings, including a 6-bay implement and car shed with workshop, a versatile 3-bay calf/implement shed (with one bay converted into a 10-cup milking facility), and a 30m x 6m tunnel house calf shed comprising eight pens.
With significant recent investment in pasture and fertility, well developed infrastructure, and a modern, comfortable home, this property represents a compelling opportunity for purchasers seeking a productive and versatile West Coast farming unit.
