378.54HA – 935ACRES
A superb opportunity exists to purchase a highly developed fodder growing, beef or dairy operation. It could be a standalone enterprise or a significant addition to your existing farming enterprise. Irrigable land has been laser graded several times following detailed whole farm plans. Each section has been provided with large water re-use dams.
The vendors have developed the 935 acres extensively over many years. A decade ago, their 600 cow dairying operation was changed to winter and summer cropping with particular focus on maize, Lucerne and clover for fodder, together with about 400 cattle. All the hard work has been done.
The home block comprises 365.7 acres with extensive shedding, a 44 stand rotary dairy (two 8000 litre vats and computerised cow ID) and laneways. Cattle yards are modified for working beef cattle and include forcing pen, curved race and crush plus B double access to the loading ramp. Channels and Padman structures have been designed for 20Ml/d flows. Adjoining this parcel of land, across a GMW occupational crossing, is a superb 130 acres of sandy loam soil that is serviced with 3 phase power for a 60m span centre pivot that can cover 92 acres daily with 15.5mm of water pumped from the adjacent GMW channel. The home is a steel framed brick veneer structure with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, office, open plan kitchen, 9Kw solar power and 110,000 litre rainwater supply. This block also has silo grain storage for approx. 300t, a dedicated silage and hay storage area and a feed pad.
Diagonally adjacent is a 304 acre block of well drained loam bounded entirely by Shire roads. It is irrigated with a similar centre pivot covering 95 acres and has another 50 acres of laser graded land serviced by a 20 Ml/day farm channel. Much of the balance is sown to dry land Lucerne and annuals. An old house, disused dairy and machinery shed, plus cattle yards and ramp, are situated on a picturesque sight. A new hay shed able to store approx.550 round bales can be accessed by B double trucks.
Across the road is another 136 acre former dairy farm with approximately 100 acres of laser graded bays serviced by a 14 Ml/day pipeline connection to the backbone. This block has a comfortable four bedroom home with a separate office along with a significant native timber backdrop. This great lifestyle property has a large machinery shed plus a disused dairy.
On all properties most of the area has been over-sown with clover and tetraploid rye or oats. Normally after hay and silage harvest, maize crops are established. Much of the fencing is ring lock, complemented with either mains or solar powered electric fence.
Vendor finance may be available to approved purchasers.
Remarks : The vendors currently run the property as a whole and are selling it with 9 Ml of HRWS. Individual blocks can be purchased separately or you can purchase as whole 935 acres and reap the rewards of the hard work and development that the vendors have completed.
