Wilden Runs Road, Tapanui, Otago

Elgin is a highly productive, large-scale breeding and finishing property that has been farmed by the Robinson family for three generations. The quality of the property is represented through every gateway, with an immaculate presentation of fencing, tracking, subdivision, shelter, crops and pastures. Predominantly well-developed paddocks with approximately 950 ha being cultivatable and two blocks still being in native grasses and tussock providing good balance.

Improvements include a well-presented five-bedroom homestead with diesel central heating, wood burner and open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas. There is a second three-bedroom workers cottage on farm, as well as another workers house located on Moa Flat Road. Farm improvements include a six-stand woolshed (2500NP), two satellite sheep yards and various hay barns and implement sheds with workshop.

Elgin currently runs approximately 6,000 crossbred ewes, 1,700 Hoggets (to the ram), 220 breeding cows, 292 yearlings, 45 R2's and 7 bulls with 1,800 store lambs traded this season.

Well subdivided with a high standard of fencing and excellent shelter belts throughout, the property has an aesthetic value combined with tremendous shelter against prevailing weather. Predominantly West Otago Water Scheme (54 units) with four main intakes plus some natural creeks and waterways. Troughs in every paddock.

Elgin is a property that must be viewed thoroughly to fully appreciate the quality of this large-scale sheep and beef breeding and finishing farm. The property has been generationally farmed and developed to the highest standards and produces great livestock with the ability to seasonally trade store lambs or finish additional cattle. Seldom does an opportunity to purchase such a quality sheep and beef property with scale arise in a reliable and renowned farming region like West Otago.
