'Tarakee' Camperdown, South West Victoria
254.55ha* (629* acres) of Blue Chip dairying or fattening country.
Opportunity presents after two lifetimes of continuous family ownership to secure a turn key, premium agricultural operation in the reliable south west Victoria. Grazing and abundance of water doesn't get much better than this - from the rich alluvial summer peat flats to the warm and naturally fertile volcanic rises, it is no wonder the early settlers selected this prime parcel of land fronting the renowned Lake Purrumbete all those years ago.
Boasting natural water springs, significant deep bore irrigation and the back up of stock and domestic water from freshwater Lake Purrumbete, this property is truly droughtproof. The original family farm of the current owners, descendants have cast their farming ability far and wide across the local district. Currently operating as a highly profitable dairy enterprise, the property lends to many styles of grazing and backgrounding for the astute investor. The property would easily convert to beef or sheep production, with abundant water, infrastructure and outstanding design key features of this premium property.
