Butler Springs

Located at Sherwood, only minutes from Lake Opuha, 332.8209 hectares (more or less) approximately 21 kilometres from Fairlie, and 22 kilometres from Burkes Pass, the gateway to the Mackenzie Country.

Butler Springs is run as a deer, cattle and sheep farm in conjunction with the owner's store stock property and has recently undergone extensive development. Enhanced stock carrying and performance, with a focus on pasture renewal and fencing has established a property with ease of management and productivity.

Predominantly deer and beef cattle are finished with rising two-year-old stags wintered in a shed, plus velveting stags, yearling stags and mixed age hinds on winter feed and pasture. Beef bulls and steers are also grazed with sheep numbers fluctuating throughout the year. Dairy stock has also been run on the property.

Included in the development is an upgraded stock-water system and fenced central laneway to the main yard comprising two large deer sheds, cattle and sheep yards with a four-stand raised board wool shed, plus implement and hay sheds. The homestead features three bedrooms, with open plan living and a separate two-bedroom sleepout, all set in large established grounds.

An opportunity exists for a new owner as a breeding and finishing property or an add-on, with locality and rainfall being favourable attributes.
