Tucked away on the Fordell-Hunterville road an easy 28km drive east of Whanganui is a tidy one-man farming unit with upside.
Arawhata is ascetically pleasing with a favourable mix of contours, including approximately 40 hectares of fertile flats and well-rounded north facing hills. Historically set up as breeding and finishingunit, Arawhata changed roles several years ago when it amalgamated with a neighbouring dairy farm.
During this time it has been used within both the milking and run-off platforms. Numerous improvements occurred during this period, including upgraded troughs, laneways and paddock division.
Marketing agents Peter Stratton and Knud Bukholt of Bayleys Real Estate emphasis that properties within this valley have had a strong reputation for producing and finishing quality stock over many generations.
Improvements include a multipurpose stock handling facility with covered sheep yards, cattle yards with covered race and a three-bay implement shed.
The unit also features a comfortable four bedroom homestead, with the usual array of sheds set in well established grounds.
Water is sourced from several supplies, including two artesian wells and a high pressure Dosatron system from the neighbouring property. Reticulated water is fed to all easier contoured paddocks, while dams feed parts of the hill block.
The farm is capable of catering for a variety of income streams including, breeding, finishing, dairy support, maize or cereal cropping.
Ducks and deer often frequent the fringes of the 11 hectare native blocks and numerous dams.
Arawhata is an attractive option for young or old to farm a versatile property in a sheltered climate within a great location and is going to auction on November 25 unless sold prior.
