Rotoorangi, Waikato

This property located in the heart of the Waikato provides an exceptional opportunity to be involved in commercial Duck farming. With a simple business model, this farm has proven itself over many years meaning these farms do not come to the market often. 
 
The family owned and operated property includes an executive style homestead on 13.49 hectares and an adjoining 15.73 hectares with a fully operational business growing Pekin Duck's. Duck meat has become more widely recognised in the food industry with most of the production consumed in New Zealand and a small amount exported.  

Each week a hatch of approximately 5500 baby ducks is delivered to the farm under contract and six-week-old fully grown live birds are removed for processing. Income is paid weekly based on weight gain and the farm working expenses are relative to income and there is no feed cost. 

Duck Park consists of two 120m x 20m growing sheds including brooding areas, shavings storage, staff room, workshop container storage and a comprehensive list of plant and machinery. The balance of the land for both properties is currently leased, but it is also utilised for operating the duck business. 

The 413m2 two story Homestead has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets and a billiard room along with many other features. It was built in 2000 to an extremely high standard and is on an elevated private site with stunning rural views. The adjacent high stud three bay enclosed shed provides excellent shedding and is equipped with power, an extra toilet and laundry facilities. Located a short distance from Cambridge it's an easy commute to Hamilton airport, with buses available to local schools, including St Peters.   

In two titles, ideally these properties will be sold together (contemporaneously) due to the operating structure of the business, however it could provide buyers with options.
