Great small dairy unit on soils second to no other in Southland!

🟠NEW LISTING🟠
This well-developed 55.53ha dairy unit located in Edendale, features flat contour and the renowned Edendale soils. The farm is consented to milk up to 170 cows and currently milks approx. 160 cows and wintering around 120, having previously operated at a higher capacity, reflecting management choice rather than production limitation. Operating under a simple, low-input 100% grass-fed system, the property delivers consistent production supported by strong pasture utilisation. Infrastructure is of a high standard and includes a 20-aside herringbone dairy, covered feed pad with capacity for approximately 200 cows, and multiple implement sheds along with a well-presented dwelling offering comfortable living. The farms consent has recently been renewed through to 2035 that includes effluent discharge from the feed pad also. Overall, the farm is tidy and efficiently run with quality infrastructure and environmental systems in place, offering scope to optimise or further develop. The vendors are retiring and re-locating next year, offering a June 2027 settlement.
Deadline Private Treaty Closing Tuesday 2nd June at 2pm (unless sold prior)

It was great to be on a panel talking in front of Lincoln Uni students a couple of weeks back about Southland and the opportunities in the regions rural industry.

One of the questions that stood out to me on the day was ‘What differentiates Southland’s rural industry compared to others?’. Apart from the obvious answers; soil varieties, water reliability etc the simple answer was the people in the region. As corny as it may sound, Southland farmers willingness to try new things, take risks and give different people in the industry a real go, attribute to the on-going success and growth of the rural sector in the region.

Great addition to our team 🤝🤝

Country & Co are excited to introduce our new salesperson W***y Mills, who is starting with us late March this year.

After 14 years serving Southland farmers from the sky as an agricultural helicopter pilot, W***y is excited to be starting a new chapter on the ground, joining the team at Country & Co as a rural salesperson. He is a familiar face across the province, having built strong relationships throughout Southland’s farming community.

W***y's connection to the rural sector runs deep, with family roots spanning an aerial application business based in Otautau in the 1980s, through to his mother’s 24 years as matron and manager of the Southland Boys’ High School hostel.

W***y extends his sincere thanks to Hayden Cherry, the team at Southland Helicopters and the many colleagues and clients he has worked alongside. Looking ahead, W***y is keen to support farming families through their real estate journeys, drawing on his firsthand understanding of rural communities and the land. His strong people skills and work ethic align naturally with being successful in real estate.

Outside of work W***y enjoys spending time with his wife Anna and their two kids and when time allows, W***y enjoys various sports and spending time in the outdoors.
