Happy Valley - scale, versatility and outstanding
Offered to the market for genuine sale, Happy Valley presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a well-established grazing and finishing property. With the retiring vendor exiting the industry, the property is available alongside the vendor's nearby farm, creating options for purchasers to buy either one or both holdings.
Spanning approximately 304 hectares, this impressive rural property combines scale, productive soils, quality infrastructure and a range of farming opportunities. Conveniently located on a sealed road and just 20 minutes from Waihao Downs School, Happy Valley is ideally suited to grazing, finishing, dairy support and mixed farming enterprises.
The property has been carefully and conservatively managed for many years, most recently by long-term tenants who have maintained the farm to a high standard. Currently operated as a heifer grazing, cattle finishing and sheep breeding unit, the farm offers proven versatility and excellent productivity.
Highly regarded silt loam soils provide a strong foundation for finishing stock and growing quality forage crops. The property is well suited to winter grazing, silage production and dairy support operations, with soil test information available to interested purchasers.
Infrastructure is a key strength of Happy Valley, featuring:
• Extensive machinery, hay and straw storage sheds
• Covered yards and woolshed complex
• Steel cattle yards
• Well-maintained 7-wire post and wire fencing
• Reliable stock water supplied via the local county scheme
Adding further appeal is the substantial four-bedroom architecturally designed concrete block homestead, constructed in the 1970s. Set in a sheltered position with sweeping views across the valley, the home enjoys a picturesque outlook over much of the farm. A separate double garage complements the residence.
Properties of this scale and capability are becoming increasingly difficult to secure. With solid farming fundamentals already in place, Happy Valley offers significant scope for the next owner to further enhance and maximise its potential.
The vendor is highly motivated to achieve a sale prior to Christmas 2026, making this a genuine opportunity for farmers, investors and rural operators seeking a quality holding in a desirable location.
Deadline Sale 4.00pm, 10 December 2026
