Dairy Farm on Auction
At the heart of the operation is a fully developed dairy facility featuring a 60-point rotary parlour, comprehensive handling systems, feed infrastructure, and bulk milk storage capacity of 20 000 litres. Historically, the enterprise supported a herd of approximately 950 cows and achieved annual production of around 5.5 million litres of milk, demonstrating its ability to operate successfully on a commercial scale.
This exceptional ±406ha agricultural enterprise combines scale, water sources, and established infrastructure to create a highly productive farming operation. Comprising three integrated properties, the farm is ideally suited to commercial dairy production while also offering flexibility for alternative agricultural ventures.
