With extremely strong fertile silt loam soils, a central 54 bale dairy shed (2005) with all the extras, substantial circle yard, very good laneways to all paddocks with the longest cow walk being just 1100 metres. A very well drained property consistently delivering over 230,000kgMS from 550 cows. Beautiful artesian water supplies the shed and stock system and a large effluent pond and distribution to 60 hectares means this farm is fully consented under One Plan.
Further infrastructure includes a substantial 4 bay workshop, calf sheds and three homes. Of the three houses the main dwelling completes the package being a substantial well-appointed 332sqm 4-bedroom home.
Currently supplying Open Country this farm consistently produces milk at low cost. It has been continuously developed by now a third generation with extremely good infrastructure but the real value is in the unchangeable - the quality soil and the well spread summer rainfall that comes with being in the heart of Dannevirke dairy country.
