The 222 hectare property was converted to dairy farming in 1992 and was purchased by Highveld Pastures Ltd in 2021.

The farm is irrigated by three centre pivots and set grid sprinklers in the corners, supplied by the Ashburton Lyndhurst Irrigation Limited scheme.

The property is operated as a milking platform only, using a 3 in 2 milking system. All replacement stock are grazed off-farm and cows are off-farm in winter for seven weeks.

Highveld is conveniently located 8km away from the town of Methven, which is renowned for its relaxed lifestyle, warm hospitality and abundance of outdoor activities.

To the west of the farm, the Southern Alps, with their snow-capped peaks, dominate the landscape, serving as a striking backdrop. These towering mountains provide a picturesque view as they overlook the dairy farm and the surrounding countryside with a sense of calm grandeur.

"We treat it like it’s our own but we’re not alone – we’ve got a great team to be in business with and that’s a good feeling"
