One of the most impressive irrigation properties I have ever seen, owned by John and Margaret Thorp, will impress the most fastidious irrigation farmer desiring a high performing property with a point of difference.
The unique aspect of the property is the extensive meandering boundary of the Broken Creek which provides frontage to 75% of the 5 titles, with Kennedy Road (north boundary) and Boals Road the entry point to this private location.
The property comprises a total area of 225 HA (558 acres) and is sown down to a high performing wheat crop (Scepter) which was sown in the first week of May and has been nurtured, sprayed, with Urea applied, as per professional agronomy practice. Please note this crop will be given in with the property sale on a standing basis for the purchaser to take advantage of the high expected cash flow this season.
The irrigation layout is exceptional with 3 separate service points off the creek, 4ML of HRW share, also given in with the sale as well as a further 151.6ML of LRW share (Goulburn 1A Zone) to assist irrigation management. The luxury of this property irrigation system on the Broken Creek, allows water shares to be sourced from both the Goulburn and the Murray system. There is a 60 HA centre pivot (20 years old) supplying the west end of the farm, well fenced into two separate areas with grazing access along the creek. Two further service points supply the balance of the farm which is laid out to flood irrigation with mostly pipe & rise supply.
The farm infrastructure is exceptional with large machinery/hay sheds, one 16m x 56m and one 16m x 32m, with ideal machinery access and further storage areas. The original hay shed and original workshop with power and concrete floor, the 4-stand shearing shed with excellent stockyards, capacity for 2000 head with excellent drafting and loading ramp.
The fencing throughout the property is first class, all concrete posts to suit sheep or cattle grazing.
The home built in 1956 comprises a 3-bedroom clinker brick dwelling with separate lounge and kitchen, dining, bathroom with renovations some time ago. The home is humble and comfortable. The home setting is exceptional with uninterrupted views of this magnificent waterfront address. Further development to the dwelling to take advantage of this aspect would be expected by the purchaser to compliment the high-quality farm.
Some properties have very few comparables to qualify the current market worth or value this is the perfect example where the auction system will formalize the true value of this unique farm.
On instructions from the vendors, this property will not be sold prior to auction.
As our advertised heading states, there is nothing else like it.
