Three main calf sheds are situated on the farm, with the former 54-bale herringbone shed and woolshed being converted for calf rearing.
A state-of-the-art irrigation system was the infrastructural "pièce de résistance" unrivalled in the Hawke's Bay farming industry, Mr Parsons said.
Its effluent system reticulates to 95ha, with an upgrade in progress to cover 175ha. A recently-constructed effluent pond holds about 200 days worth of storage. The farm's 155ha runoff, minutes from the main block, "has traditionally been used to winter cows on, and grow winter crops including maize silage, lucerne and grass, and is a major asset to the operation".
On site is a quarry for track maintenance. Waipukurau and Waipawa are within a 15-minute drive and the Hatuma Lime Quarry is an eight-minute drive.
"Enhanced by the warm and temperate climate of Central Hawke's Bay, the location of Ingleton Farms is ideally suited not only to dairy, but other agricultural systems," Mr Parsons said.
"A dairy farm offering of this scale and specification rarely frequent New Zealand's property market, certainly in the North Island. The nature of the soil types, and the strength of the irrigation, means the land use will undoubtedly attract a raft of potential end users."¦
