Takapau

It boasts a 600m centre pivot irrigator consented to provide approx. 29,000 cubic metres of water to 116ha of the property

There is a good range of farmyard buildings.

It is situated in the path of the Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme which could bring added value to the area when/if the dam proceeds.

Currently running over 500 dairy heifers on annual contract and producing up to 4,000 big square bales of baleage each year for sale.

Situated just 11km west of Waipukurau, the Takapau Plains have always been regarded as one of the better farming areas in Central Hawke's Bay supporting a wide range of farming enterprises such as process and fodder cropping, intensive bull beef and dairy operations. There is an existing potato growing enterprise on the boundary.

With extensive irrigation infrastructure it would also complement any existing farming enterprise providing summer finishing opportunities for hill country sheep and beef farmers.

Priced to sell at $27,000 per hectare plus GST (if any)
