A 50/50 share milking opportunity has arisen in the heart of Waikato dairy country on the esteemed Tower Road, Matamata.
The picturesque farm consists of a flat approx. 150ha eff and is supported by a further 13ha block across the road which is used for maize and winter grazing.
An approx. System 4 has been run with maize grown on farm, maize/grass silage bought in as well as PKE blend.
Farmed by a long-term SM along with neighbouring farms with cows moving between them at times including calving/milking starting on this farm, this property has milked around 480 Friesian cross cows with all calves grazed off from weaning.
Production as part of the larger farming enterprise apportioned out based on land area equates to around 1,430kgMS/ha average over 4 yrs.
The standalone property is easy to operate and features great infrastructure including a recently extended (2025) 40ASHB cowshed with ACRs, Protrack drafting, meal feeders, concrete feed bunker with open ends and a lined effluent pond with associated infrastructure.
In recent years Halter has also been utilised.
There are currently 2 x 3 bedroom homes available with the possibility of a third.
The farm owners seek a progressive business partner with high standards of tidiness, excellent communication and pasture management skills as well as a good herd to continue to take the farm forward in terms of profitability.
The herd and youngstock has been sold so is not available.
The farm owners are open to options around what farm system is run, breed and number of cows etc as long as the focus remains on grass first, tidiness and profitability.
In return the applicant will be rewarded with a well set up property doing consistent production in an excellent area to progress in the industry.
This farm is overseen by consultant and absentee farm owners, all applications done via Farm Consultant.
