The water system is also new, the races are in good condition and there are ample good quality sheds. There is one totally refurbished family home and one worker’s cottage.

Wellsford | A smart move

156 Hectares*

This dairy farm is located only 83km north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, 10km west of Wellsford and 3km from the historic Port Albert Wharf reserve and boat ramp. It is zoned rural with road frontage on two sides and is surrounded by lifestyle blocks and farmlets. There are two good homes and the 32 aside cow shed is central to the farm. There is plentiful water from a man-made lake that has a 404 hectare catchment and an attractive stand of mature native bush at the top of the farm. Buildings and improvements have received a significant injection of cash in the past few years. In spite of a few management issues, production has averaged 86,500kgMS over the past three seasons on an all grass system with the help of an adjacent block of lease land which would also be available to the successful purchaser. The time is right for a forward-thinking dairy farmer to secure a large parcel of rural zoned land within the wider Auckland region.
