Central to Otorohanga, Te Awamutu and Kawhia, the contour is mostly rolling with some steeper land towards the Te Rauamoa Reserve boundary. An area of native bush on the farm merges with this reserve plus there are scattered pockets with trees for shade and shelter, totaling less than 10 hectares. Baleage is cut off two hectares.

The plentiful water supply is from a spring source then reticulated throughout the farm using a gravity system. In addition, there are two streams and rainfall is estimated to be more than 1800mm per annum. Our clients typically fatten around 140 Friesian/Hereford Cross and 30 Highland cattle with about 30 to 40 sheep. The property has an estimated 1,000 stock unit carrying capacity.

Farm infrastructure includes a fully enclosed, 3 bay implement shed, a 1/2 round barn, a 3 stand wool shed with night pens and there are recently refurbished cattle plus sheep yards. The formed track provides good access around the farm. Fencing is a mix of conventional, electric and some deer.

The 1960's four bedroom brick home has been faithfully maintained to provide comfortable family living. Perfect for summer entertaining, there's decks front and back. An open plan kitchen and dining room offers plentiful storage and the separate lounge is cosy in winter with its woodburner. Basement garaging provides undercover parking for one vehicle. Additionally, a separate garage provides the second car park along with a sleep-out or hobby room. Established farm gardens and an orchard add to the country ambience.
