Corbyvale Farm has been well-managed for over 20 years. Spread over 10 titles, it covers 501 hectares and has been developed to create a fantastic farming opportunity, primarily as a Dairy Unit. The time has now come for the present owners to step aside to make way for someone looking for an opportunity to continue to take the farm to the next stage and into the future.
Corbyvale is situated in a fantastic location surrounded by Conservation land along the Karamea Highway, approximately forty minutes' drive to Westport and forty minutes' drive to Karamea.
140 hectares of the farm has been set aside primarily for a dairy platform that currently runs around 195 head of milking cows, retrieving approximately 70,000kg of milk solids, using a 24 aside herringbone milking plant. The vat and cooler are due for an upgrade under the contract with Westland Milk Products; eight of the ten-year milk collection contract is remaining.
An additional 30ha hectares of the property is currently used for raising beef with 80 head ranging from R1s and R2s. There is potential for a further 60ha of land development or alternatively, Corbyvale could also be used as a runoff block.
There are multiple sheds on this farm and these farmers do not do things in tiny scale. The sheds are used for calving shelters, stock cover, implement storage, workshop space with 3 phase power and a shed for the pigs and chickens.
Five unit loads of hay are bought in to supplement winter feed. 300 silage bales are harvested on the property with 100 carried over into winter/spring. 6ha of kale and rape is grown on the property.
Stock movements have been carefully considered with an underpass put in place that most farmers would envy, this allows for easy transition for stock movement to and from the milking shed. Fencing is primarily electric with a 6-wire fence along the road frontage.
There are several water troughs located around the property.
Due to its unique geographical location and with a large amount of the property in native bush, Corbyvale also has the potential to create more revenue as a hunting lodge and potentially be used as a trade-off for carbon credits by entering the Emission Trading Scheme, to equalise pending government greenhouse gas reforms, or use the existing milling rights on the property.
The property comes with two homes; one three-bedroom house, suitable to accommodate a manager and family, two car garaging and an additional self-contained unit for the farm worker, all which are accessed under cover.
The second home is a small two-bedroom cottage, tucked away in a scenic and private location from the main hub of the farming operation. This would be an idyllic place for an owner or the retired parents who still have the desire to be a supportive part in the farming operation.
Water is drawn from three different locations around the farm, one supplying a hydropower system that provides power to over half the farm. There is a 66KV generator available providing insurance if the property requires back power system. All water drawn from nearby streams with council consented in place. Discharge consents are also in place. All water takes are consented as of 2013 for 20 years. Corbyvale has an excellent fertilizer history. Discharge consents were approved from 2012 for 15 years.
Stock and machinery are not included in the sale but will be considered additional to the sale price.
