LONGSTANDING LEPPERTON FAMILY DAIRY FARM

LONGSTANDING LEPPERTON FAMILY DAIRY FARM Situated in the heart of the ever popular Lepperton district is this five generation family farm 128 ha approx. dairy farm coming to the market. We are privileged to be entrusted with the marketing of this superbly located farm which has been calving around 395/400 cows for the past 3 seasons and longer. Comprising mainly flat to easy rolling contour the property has frontage to Richmond, Cross and Kelly Roads making for easy access to all areas. Stock races radiate from the centrally positioned excellent 40 aside herringbone cowshed to the 70 milking paddocks which are all serviced with trough water reticulated via 40mm and 32mm loopline system from a bore submersible pump located close to the cowshed. The effluent is all compliant with a storage bladder and land spread system via hydrants to 40 hectares of the farm. The cowshed has an in-shed feed system and yard space for up to 500 cows. Adjacent to the cowshed is a large 5 bay shed with three lock up bays, and positioned around the farm are several calf rearing, supplement and implement sheds together with silage bunkers and PK bunker. The main home is four bedrooms plus sleepout while the other two homes are three bedrooms. Without doubt this offers the relatively rare opportunity to purchase a good sized dairying operation located in one of Taranaki’s most sought after districts. We highly recommend inspection for those with an eye for the future as a great investment let alone a good size dairying opportunity. Open Days: Friday 14th and 21st October 11am Tender Close Monday 7th November 2022 at 1pm, 201 Broadway Stratford.
