Previously offered to the market in conjunction with an adjoining property, Foveran is now offered for the first time on its own. Covering 1,389.449 hectares Foveran is a high performing, mixed breeding and finishing property nestled into the eastern hills of the Hakataramea Valley near Kurow in South Canterbury. It has a good range of infrastructure including a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom homestead, separate office, events amenities, woolshed and well positioned stock handling facilities.

Foveran is renowned for its deer stud so the sales arena, enclosed sales yards plus its surgical room/laboratory facility for embryo transplants are all key improvements.

This property provides an excellent balance with its well-developed flats, easy rolling downlands plus medium to steeper hill blocks. It is currently run as a large-scale red deer stud operation together with breeding cattle and low micron Merino sheep. Because of the deer stud and the extra space required for trophy animals, the current stocking rates do not reflect what the stock carrying capacity is under a more traditional sheep, beef and deer operation.

Foveran is an exceptional property in all respects. The independent board of directors for Infinity Group have provided clear instructions for this property to be sold.
