“Lochness” is a 91-hectare irrigated dairy unit situated in the renown dairying district of Kahutara. With the popular Kahutara primary school just minutes away and being equidistant from Featherston and Martinborough (20km’s) the property is ideally located in the heart of the South Wairarapa.
The property is blessed with highly fertile, deep alluvial silt loam soils capable of being used intensively for cropping, market gardening, livestock finishing and dairying. The fertility levels have been maintained at optimum levels. Supporting these soils, the property holds a robust (no low flow restrictions) irrigation consent allowing for around 85 hectares under irrigation (travelling gun and laterals). The house and stock water quality are exceptional being sourced from a deep bore confirming the water resource as a key strength of the property.
Historically this property has run a low input system, producing over 100,000 kilograms of milk solids from up to 300 cows.
The buildings consist of two solid three bedroom homes, a modern 24 aside herringbone dairy shed in excellent condition, calf rearing shed, implement/hay shed and other storage sheds.
“Lochness” is a sought-after size in a good location with the desirable physical attributes of quality soils and a robust water consent offering land use options to buyers. Potential exists to reconfigure and intensify the dairy system and/or upgrade the irrigation infrastructure, or switch to an intensive cropping or dairy support unit.
