Deadline Sale – 4pm, Thu 27 Feb 2020 (unless sold prior)

Longacre is a 110 hectare irrigated property comprising some of the most versatile soils in Canterbury. Located in the favoured and renowned cropping area of Pendarves, opportunities such as this with irrigation are seldom available.

The water is sourced from a consented bore on farm as well as the Acton Irrigation Scheme and applied via a lateral irrigator best suited to the shape of the property, with efficient and effective coverage. The pond has approximately 27,200m3 storage adding to the property’s reliability, and combined with the Lismore soils, has the capacity to perform.

The property has historically grown a variety of crops from specialist small seeds and cereal crops to potatoes and maize, plus finishing winter lambs for the local and export markets.

An expansive eight bay pole shed is perfect for machinery storage or can be used for keeping hay or straw dry, and the two Westeel silos offer approximately 440 tonne of grain storage.

Situated in a well sheltered garden just off Winters Road, is the classic four bedroom red brick open plan home, plus a semi-attached sleep out with its own bathroom, which is perfect for family or extra staff.

With excellent soils, size, water and location as well as early production abilities, properties like this are not to be missed.
