A VERSATILE farming property at West Ridgley combines productive land, secure water, first-class cattle handling facilities and a comfortable four-bedroom home.

Formerly operated as a dairy, the holding has run as a beef enterprise since August 2021, carrying about 300 to 350 beef or dairy-beef cattle aged 12 to 24 months.

Spread across three titles, the property has a 224ML water licence and large on-farm dam. Two Valley centre pivots, covering about 14ha and 26ha, support irrigation, while pumped stock water services the farm.

Large paddocks provide straightforward management, with significant areas suited to cropping or silage production. Improvements include an implement shed, calf and storage shed, original dairy shed and yards.

A major feature is the 400-head Te Pari cattle yard system installed in 2022. The heavy-duty facility includes an automatic crush, three-way drafting and weighing system, drenching race, loading ramp and ample truck access, allowing safe, efficient one-person handling.

The renovated home has four bedrooms, two toilets, a bathroom with shower and spa, two living areas, a deck, heat pump and new carpet.

A gravel quarry provides base rock for maintaining the property’s lanes and internal roads and further strengthens its versatility.
