Looking for a grand opportunity to own a dairy farm but have a tight budget? Then this 49 hectare dairy in Elstow may be your ticket. An all flat contour with mostly sandy loam and alluvial soils with a three-year average production of 61,000 milk solids and the asking price of just $2,250,000 +GST (if any). This property is part of a block of Thames Coromandel District Council lease in perpetuity farms. The 14 aside dairy shed is located at the front of the farm with 160 cows being milked. A good race system feeds out to 32 paddocks with a mix of fencing being 6 wire on the boundary and 3-4 wire electric internals. The water is sourced from a bore (40m) running through a filtration unit then pressure fed to the farm through a 25mm alkathene mainline. Supplementary feed by way of maize (1.7 ha) and grass silage (10-12 h) is grown on farm with 120 tonne of PKE purchased over the last two seasons. The effluent is captured in two ponds and pumped (PTO pump) via a travelling irrigator across approximately nine hectares. The 276m2 homestead is spacious with four bedrooms, ensuite, games room and double garage plus a carport. This is a very comfortable home. The support buildings are in close proximity to the dairy shed. This is an extremely tidy and well laid out farm with a nice array of shelter trees giving a great visual presence. Definitely a great opportunity to get into the industry at an affordable level.
