Warialda | 7 adjoining titles | 781ha | approx. 1200 arable acres
272 Wooldridge Road, Arthur River
"Warialda" has been held in the same family since establishment in 1958 and lies in the "Goldilocks" zone of pasture production where a good mix of temperature and rainfall result in consistently good pasture/growth rates. The farm has been very well managed and has been farmed conservatively to ensure soil health with minimal cropping, no stubble burning and a liming program with proven results. The current owners have also been working towards carbon neutrality for increased market access.
Consisting of seven adjoining titles and located 14km from Arthur River, 150km from Bunbury and only a 2 hour commute from Perth.
The property sits high in the landscape with gently undulating topography. Medium soil types ranging from gravelly loams to more sandy loams. Good pH levels to depth as a result of a long term liming program across the farm. Consistently goof levels of fertiliser have been applied long term - both cropping and pasture
The average rainfall based on 10 and 20 year rainfall records is 405mm and the property sits in the high rainfall region for crop production.
The property is divided into 20 paddocks with 11dams and 2 developed bores and one undeveloped bore. With these two reliable and productive bores providing quality water suitable for spraying and stock, the farm has excellent water security and drought proofing capability.
The property has two laneways through the farm for easier access to yards and sheds. There is a large harvest turnaround area for road train access at harvest. Close to grain delivery points with Narrakine CBH only 40kms away and Bunge 16kms, as well as being close to saleyards and abattoirs, the property is well positioned to keep freight rates low and market access convenient.
Biodiversity assets helping the farm work towards achieving carbon neutrality include 213ha remnant vegetation, 20ha planted jam trees and abundant flora and fauna.
