Proven production, picturesque position
Nestled amongst the rolling green hills of Hobbiton, this attractive 101-hectare (subject to survey) dairy property combines proven production, great infrastructure and a highly desirable Waikato location. Consistently producing approximately 100,000kg of milk solids, the property presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking an established dairy operation, a first step into farm ownership or an opportunity to expand an existing farming portfolio.
To be held in two titles, the property enjoys dual road access, with its main entrance from Buckland Road and additional access from Taotaoroa Road. Approximately 75% of the farm comprises flat to easy undulating contour, providing practical, productive country with ample opportunity for harvesting supplements and growing maize crops. The balance offers a pleasing mix of contour, complemented by mature specimen trees planted throughout, creating an attractive rural landscape with genuine aesthetic appeal.
Currently milking approximately 250 cows, with around 50 replacement heifers reared annually, the operation is supported by an established farming programme. Replacement heifers are grazed off farm from 1 December, with R2 heifers returning on 1 May, while fertiliser applications are guided by soil testing requirements. The farm is well subdivided into approximately 40 paddocks, serviced by a network of well-formed races, ensuring efficient stock movement and ease of management.
At the heart of the operation is an excellent 24-aside herringbone cowshed with in-shed meal feeding, complemented by a modern, fully compliant effluent system and reliable bore water supply. Extensive supporting infrastructure includes two half-round hay barns, a four-bay implement shed, three-bay calf-rearing shed, woolshed and a fully enclosed, lockable workshop, providing excellent facilities for machinery storage, calf rearing and general farm operations.
Accommodation is provided by a modern three-bedroom home, complete with two carports and a separate double garage.
With the vendors choosing to exit the dairy industry, this is an opportunity to secure a proven farming operation in a sought-after location. Whether you are looking to take your first step into dairy ownership, add another productive unit to your portfolio or secure a substantial dairy support property, this offering deserves your attention.
Conveniently positioned just 15km from Matamata, 19km from Tirau and 27km from Cambridge, the property enjoys access to a wide range of schooling, services and amenities, with State Highway 29 providing convenient connectivity throughout the wider Waikato region.
