Waikiti Downs Station is located at the <strong>West</strong>ern foot of the Southern Alps covering an area of 1,543<br />

in recent years, increasing the grazeable area on the river flats and river frontages to approximately<br />

and the vendors estimate the farm could sustain 1,000+ cows, producing 350,000kgMS per annum.<br />

The property is currently grazing beef cattle and has wintered up to 3,000 dairy cows.<br />
