Affordable Dairy Opportunity

This attractive 217.1225 hectare property (more or less) is positioned in a well-regarded farming district, located 10 kilometres east of Aria and 20 kilometres southeast of Piopio. The farm operates primarily as a dairy platform with runoff and includes a comfortable three-bedroom main home along with a worker's dwelling. 26‑aside herringbone shed, two calf sheds, a garage, a two‑bay shed and a hay shed.

The land is a balanced mix, comprising approximately 157 hectares of flat platform country, 57 hectares of easy rolling hills used for support, and 2.5 hectares of native bush. The farm is subdivided into around 65 paddocks, with predominantly post‑and‑two‑wire fencing internally and post‑and‑batten 7/8 wire fencing along the boundaries. Access throughout the property is excellent, with the farm extending across Kaeaea Road.

A certified effluent system is in place, with storage capacity and disposal via irrigation over approximately 43 hectares. Pasture quality has been maintained through a long-standing renewal programme, contributing to consistent and reliable performance. Stock water is sourced from a creek near the tanker track entrance, fully consented and supported by a well‑reticulated system across the property.

Production history is strong, with the farm producing 118,113kg MS from 460 cows in 2022/23, increasing to 135,312kg MS from 470 cows in 2023/24, and 136,253kg MS from 434 cows in 2024/25, all off a 153‑hectare milking platform. On average, 100 R1 replacements have been wintered. With its predominantly easy contour, reliable soils, and established infrastructure, the property offers flexibility—whether continuing as a productive dairy platform or adapting to an intensive grazing or bull unit.
