One of the standout features of this property is its reliable and cost-effective irrigation water supply. The farm can be fully irrigated from two separate wells using two traveling irrigators, allowing for the option to sell the property in two parcels. Additionally, there are two separate wells dedicated to livestock water.
An advantage of the property is the availability of a current environmental report, which indicates that 54 hectares can be used for dairy support and up to 50 hectares for intensive winter grazing on forage crops. Additionally, the property holds a current farming consent.
Located outside the CLVMA area, the property boasts deep, fertile soils and a temperate climate. These support the successful farming of a wide range of crops while also making it ideal for dairy grazing and finishing cattle and sheep. The property is also ideally suited for a 'cut and carry' operation for baleage/silage/hay to complement an existing farm.
Farm infrastructure includes a large grain storage shed approximately 12m deep x 33m wide (396sqm), an original three-bay shed with slider door, extended with a large end bay with an electric roller door. Powered by solar panels. The property is divided into nine main paddocks with well-maintained fencing, consisting mostly of traditional post and netting.
This season, barley, wheat, peas, and linseed are being grown. Premium milling wheat is supplied to Champion Flour Mills and in 2023 won a premium prize for quality. All crops are well-fertilised in line with modern farming practices.
The sale of this property provides a rare opportunity to purchase an outstanding high-producing dairy support/finishing and cropping farm with reliable and low-cost irrigation. With a rateable value of $4.24M, our vendors are prepared to negotiate with all reasonable offers on their merit.
