Small Farm - Eketahuna

This 16-hectare small farm with three-bedroom home located on the Eketahuna town boundary offers a multitude of options for astute buyers.
The home is tidily presented, and the farm has a history of profitable operation, including calf rearing, prime stock finishing and dairy grazing. There are 8 titles with access off Haswell Street and Alfredton Road and a Council-approved Scheme Plan for three residential/lifestyle sections. Soils are good quality free draining silt loams with mainly flat to very easy contour.
The late 1980's 3 bedroomed homestead is elevated with nice views over the town. The kitchen, renovated recently, adjoins a spacious dining/family room and a large, separate lounge. Nearby is a standalone double bed sleepout and bathroom, ideal for an extended family or possibly an Airbnb.
Being an ex-dairy farm, there are lots of sheds and covered concrete floors, previously used as a large-scale calf rearing operation. Twelve paddocks are fenced with conventional post and wire, mostly with electric outriggers. Nearby is a good set of cattle yards and loading race and at the eastern end of the property, there's a 3 bay implement shed. Domestic/stock water and sewerage are on town services. Native trees offer shelter and shade, along with a small eucalyptus stand for firewood.
This small farm is well located near the iconic rural township of Eketahuna in Tararua district. Eke has a great community vibe and is well serviced by shops, cafes and the Eketahuna Inn, all within an easy drive of Masterton (30 minutes) and Palmerston North (50 minutes).
