Burmont Farm Description
Burmont Holdings is a 284 hectare spray irrigated dairy farm, well located on State Highway 1 just north of the Rakaia River in Canterbury, New Zealand.
The farm is of mainly flat contour and is very well subdivided with paddock sizes averaging 5.15 hectares. South Two Chain Road, a shingle road running parallel with state highway 1 dissects the property with the dairy shed on one side of the road and the remainder on the western side of the road.
Staff accommodation comprises of two well maintained 3 bedroom houses with attractive fully fenced surrounds and a new manager’s house which was built in November 2005. Other buildings include a new 50 bail rotary cowshed (built in 2006), 6 bay implement/calf rearing shed and 3 bay implement/workshop shed.
Irrigation water is sourced via three 90m deep wells and fed via underground mainline to Briggs rotorainers and hand shift sprinklers. The irrigation is designed so that irrigators only have to be shifted once a day.
