The offering of "Brooklyn" provides a wonderful opportunity to acquire a property ideally suited to a mixed enterprise of livestock and cropping.
Located in the highly regarded Melrose area "Brooklyn" enjoys a reliable rainfall which provides the ability to the successful purchaser to consider a diverse enterprise mix including cereals, legumes, oilseeds and livestock production.
The pastures of mainly native clovers and grasses flourish with excellent feed coverage across the hills. The cropping land has a northern and westerly aspect and is ideally suited to cereal and legume cropping but with the sustained strong prices for sheep meat and wool, it provides scope for excellent additional pasture production with sown feed.
The property would ideally suit neighbouring farm businesses for expansion options but also is equally suited to an outside farming business looking to secure a larger parcel of reliable higher rainfall farming & grazing land.
