Deadline Private Treaty
Plus GST (if any)

1500 Poyntzs Road, Cust
Land Size: 222.44 hectares (549.67 Acres)

The sale of Ryelands Farm, 222.4387 hectares, provides an outstanding opportunity to purchase one of Canterbury's best farms offering an almost fully irrigated property with excellent infrastructure, water consents and soils.

The total property can justifiably be described as immaculate throughout. With proven groundwater and surface water consents, topped up with some WIL scheme water, the property is mainly pivot irrigated on both blocks with some gun irrigation.

The deep rich soils have been intensively cropped for cereals and also feed crops for finishing. Large numbers of dairy cows have been wintered and young dairy stock also grazed. Currently approximately 4,000 lambs are being finished on the property.

Farm infrastructure is outstanding with a large number of quality buildings including several modern five-bay sheds, one with lock-up workshop, other large utility sheds and permanent silos including a new 2016 West Steel 180 tonne silo with drying plant. Also a two-stand woolshed with sheep and cattle yards.

To complete the picture, is the modern (approximately 2002), large and welcoming four-bedroom home featuring a new kitchen. It is expansive with many extras including a separate lounge, separate laundry and large office. This is all set in a large and well established lawn and garden setting.
