1477 Piako Road, Morrinsville, Matamata-Piako

Great property - prime location

Located between Morrinsville and Hamilton, this 128 hectare (more or less) dairy unit enjoys long road frontage on two sides. This all flat and easy to manage unit is a consistent performer on a closed system with no purchased supplements.
Around 365 cows are milked with production of 130,177 kg milk solids last season with calves grazed off from November.
The 36ASHB has a yard capacity for 400 cows. Reid slide pulsators, a double banked cooler and chilled water vat ensure Fonterra's milk cooling requirements are met.
Adjacent to the dairy are two spacious calf-rearing sheds, a gable implement shed and a half round barn with lockable workshop and implement facilities. A fertiliser bin is also located handy to the working hub.
Effluent is collected from the dairy shed in a two million litre lined pond from where it is pumped through 110mm mainline via six hydrants to two cannons with a coverage area of approximately 25 hectares.
Water is sourced from a bore and run through a new Temple water treatment system and pressure fed to the farm through a 40mm alkathene loop line with 25 and 20mm laterals with an inline dosatron dispenser. Variation 6 is in place.
There has been a consistent production average over the last three years of 127,431 kg milk solids from a grass regime and seven hectares of maize grown on farm.
The property has consolidated peat soils and a very good two race system running from the diary. The farm is divided into 41 paddocks with the boundary mostly double fenced and two wire electric for all internals.
The main dwelling is a modern four bedroom brick home with ensuite, open plan kitchen/dining and a three car internal access garage. Heating is by way of a heat pump and domestic water is from the treated farm system. The second dwelling is older with three bedrooms, open plan with Metro log fire and carport. Adjacent is a sleepout with shower and toilet.
The owners have a very realistic price of less than $48,000 per hectare so value for money is indeed on offer with this unit.
