On behalf of Horizons Regional Council we offer this 138 hectare ex-dairy farm for lease for a two year period commencing 1 June 2023
The main access is from Hokio Beach Rd, with a side boundary the full length of Arawhata Rd. Around 32ha is accessed from the end of Mako Mako Rd.
Soil types vary from low lying peaty ground through to alluvial silt loam. New soil tests will be available shortly
Centrally raced to around 35 paddocks mainly with 1-2 wire electric fences
This is a sensitive catchment and accordingly the Lessee will need to demonstrate they can run the property within an environmental footprint of 15kg/ha N loss per annum. No cattle older than two years can be wintered. No vegetable crops
During the term of the lease Horizons reserves the right to withdraw part of the land as they begin to establish a wetland
Facilities include a cowshed (being decommissioned May 2023), plus an assortment of other farm buildings
A 3 bedroom home at Mako Mako Rd is available – the prospective Lessee may opt in/opt out of that at time of tendering
Tenders close 4pm Thursday 27 April at 56 Stafford Street, Feilding
Inspection is strictly by prior arrangement, please call Robert or Richard to arrange a time to view
