Kamahi - Swain

This 292-hectare dairy farm is located in the Kamahi district of eastern Southland, an area well regarded for its suitability to dairying. The property features predominantly flat contour with deep, fertile soils and a reliable climate, making it well suited to seasonal supply systems. The overall layout is efficient, with well-sized paddocks, reticulated water, and a well-formed network of races.

Infrastructure is designed to support consistent production, including a 54-bail rotary milking shed of good capacity, a range of supporting farm buildings, and three quality dwellings that provide suitable on-farm accommodation. Pastures are well maintained, and the farm operates on a medium supplement import system to achieve stable production outcomes.

Situated alongside its sister property, Kamahi Tramway, this farm is recognised as one of the stronger dairy units in the district. Its combination of scale, infrastructure, and location delivers above-average results and positions it as a quality platform for sustainable dairying into the future.
