Hills Creek/Pennyweight sheep-and-beef unit
LARGE diverse Central Otago sheep-and-beef property situated on SH85, 55km from Alexandra and 30km from Ranfurly.
This expansive station comprises three well-known farming properties
(Hills Creek, Pennyweight, and Dalmandy), which were amalgamated by the current owners approximately 12 years ago.
The property is complemented by a full range of good improvements and farming buildings, with the main homestead being on Pennyweight (being a 1970s four-bedroom brick home in a mature and sheltered setting), complemented by two four-bedroom houses and single quarters.
Farm buildings include a very good six-stand (RB) woolshed and covered yard complex, a second three-stand (FB) woolshed, two sets of cattleyards, five-bay implement shed, two-bay workshop, two 2-bay haybarns, store shed, stables, and satellite sheepyards.
The property contour provides balance, with a substantial area of river flats, suitable for cropping and grass-harvesting, and good medium hill country.
Well fenced into approximately 192 paddocks and lanes by permanent post-and-wire fencing. Reticulated water to most paddocks from the Hawkdun scheme.
Over the past 10 years, the vendors have carried out extensive fencing, fertiliser application and development, with present cover being 71ha kale, 2376ha lucerne, 891ha white clover, 176ha annual ryegrass, 98ha Italian and 13ha perennial ryegrass, 30ha ryecorn, balance of native covers.
Currently stocked with halfbred breeding ewes/trading lambs, beef cattle, both breeding and finishing/trading cattle.
