"MERRYVALE" ON EDEN CREEK Properties of this calibre are rarely offered to the market. Set across 270 acres of fertile alluvial river flats in the heart of the Northern Rivers, this exceptional holding represents a unique opportunity to secure one of the district’s most productive and versatile rural enterprises. Formerly operated as the highly regarded “Merryvale Jerseys”, the farm achieved the remarkable feat of producing approximately one million litres of milk annually from just 270 acres — a true reflection of the country’s extraordinary capability. Beautifully balanced between lifestyle and large-scale productivity, the property features a charming solid timber homestead alongside a newly completed two-bedroom cottage, ideal for extended family, staff accommodation or an additional income stream. Infrastructure is extensive and exceptionally well designed, with substantial shedding throughout the property and a modern 17-per-side herringbone swing-over dairy forming the centrepiece of the operation. Approximately 60 paddocks are connected by well-maintained gravel laneways, creating an efficient and seamless livestock management system. Water security — the cornerstone of any successful farming enterprise — is simply outstanding. Boasting a valuable 696 megalitre irrigation licence, the property is serviced by mains throughout, with approximately half the farm under fixed sprinkler irrigation and the balance operated via hard-line systems. Positioned at the junction of Eden and Ironpot Creeks and supported by backed-up flows from Toonumbar Dam, this is regarded as some of the most reliable water in the Northern Rivers region. Rich pastures of Rhodes grass, Seteria, Paspalum, Kikuyu and clovers underpin the farm’s impressive carrying capacity, while approximately 90 per cent arable country provides enormous scope for rotational cropping, fodder production, dairying or intensive cattle operations. Whether you are seeking a blue-chip dairy enterprise, a drought-secure backgrounding property or a highly productive mixed farming operation with abundant water and infrastructure, this outstanding holding offers limitless potential in one of the North Coast’s most tightly held rural regions.
