728 Valetta Westerfield Road, Westerfield, Ashburton

Versatile Dairy Support Block

Currently operated as a dairy support and arable unit, the property features a simple and efficient layout of four equal sized paddocks connected by a central formed laneway with stock water supplied via troughs, supporting grazing and break feeding of forage crops. Land use permits up to 18 hectares of winter brassica. 

The productive Lismore and Mayfield soils are well suited to both cropping and pastoral use, with a rotation of kale, barley and grass seed demonstrating the diversity with consistent performance. Predominantly cows have been grazed over the winter months, but also consider growing out replacement heifers, cut and carry or lifting fodder beet.

Irrigation water is from an on farm bore with a consented take of 42 litres per second underpinning a well-developed irrigation system covering approximately 68 hectares under the centre pivot.
 
The property is compliant with a future-focused management plan in place by the current owners achieving an “A” audit and nitrogen loss already meeting 2035 reduction targets. 
 
A well-balanced, efficient and productive support block not to be under estimated as an add-on to a larger operation or a standalone unit to enable growth and progression into what can only be described as an exciting rural sector.
 
Well located within the Valetta and Westerfield districts in a sought-after Mid Canterbury location.
