Located 6km east of Aria, 16km southeast of Piopio, this farm offers scale, excellent contour, strong infrastructure, and a proven production history—an outstanding opportunity in the King Country.
The property encompasses 324 hectares of effective dairy platform, with contour comprising 140 hectares of flats, 184 hectares of medium rolling country, small parts of steeper land, plus 23 hectares of native bush. With altitude ranging from 140m to 160m above sea level, the land benefits from reliable annual rainfall of 1,500-1,650mm, and naturally fertile Kairanga Silt and Clay Loam soils. Soil indicators remain strong, with pH around 5.8 and Olsen P averaging 44.
Currently milking 930 cows, the farm delivered 233,000kg MS 2023/24 and 246,000kg MS 2024/25 season. The layout supports smooth herd flow, with the land fenced into approximately 100 paddocks using mostly electrics, and conventional fencing on the boundaries and road frontages.
Farm infrastructure is of a high standard. The centrepiece is a 54-bail rotary cowshed, built in 2015 and fitted with a Waikato Milking Systems plant. Effluent is well managed with a 90 day storage system irrigating around 40 hectares of pasture. Well maintained laneways, fencing, water systems, and calf rearing facilities further support large scale dairy operations.
The property is held across five titles and includes four dwellings—three four bedroom homes and one three bedroom home—ideal for owners, managers, and staff.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a large, well contoured, fully developed dairy unit with excellent infrastructure, strong soils, multiple titles, and a proven production record. A farm of this scale and quality, ready to continue performing, is seldom offered to the market.
