Progressive investors are recognizing the chicken industry for its secure and enticing return on Capital. Iron Hill Farms has a secure contract with Inghams Enterprises.
Rearing in excess of one million barn raised chickens per annum, through six fully automated growing sheds totalling 9024 square metres. The property is fully compliant and will be sold as a going concern.
Location is always important! This property is situated part way between Matamata and Cambridge, providing plenty of choice when considering schooling, shopping, lakes, beaches and other recreational attractions helping you create that essential healthy work / life balance.
The block is approx. 9.45 hectares. The pastoral area is subdivided for stock and provides ample space to make any excess pasture into supplements. The farm is very well set up with an extensive range of support buildings. Accommodation is also well catered for with a total of three dwellings - two very good family homes and a nicely appointed self-contained two bedroom unit.
An excellent example of a modern chicken farm that should meet your expectations.
Matamata is situated on State Highway 27 at the foot of the Kaimai ranges, 63 kilometres east of Hamilton. It is also only a short distance from Tauranga and Rotorua.
Surrounded by fertile farmland, it is well known for, and bases its economy on, its dairy farming and thoroughbred horse breeding.
A fabulous Green Belt surrounds two thirds of the town. This is great for picnicing or walking through during the different seasons.
