Succession planning leads to the sale of highly regarded grazing country The Glen. Held in the same family for over 153 years, this is a significant parcel of land located in very tightly held high rainfall country. Neighbouring land is either owned by Forestry SA, or rarely changes hands. Surrounded by hills, this property is self fulfilling with water, 28 inch average annual rainfall (710mm). Springs, 12 dams, winter creeks, bore and stock troughs, a substantial holding that is drought proof. Superbly maintained, your inspection will see near new fencing for the majority of the paddocks and state of the art sheep yards capable of holding 1500 sheep. The Glen has been run in conjunction with two nearby farms, predominately perennial and annual grasses, carefully managed over the years. Aerial annual MAP fertiliser programmes ensures all year round feed and high production. Fertile flats, good cover hills grazing, excellent shelter belts. Wool has been a focus in the past but in the last ten years prime lamb and commercial Angus cattle have been the focus.
Recent renovation of a very cute stone hut, with rain water and the basics provides beautiful picnic accommodation in picturesque scenery all year round. Building a home from one of the highest elevated sites in the state with distant views over the Spencer Gulf and Adelaide Plains area would be rewarded with one the most enviable views from a very private estate. Located 5km from Williamstown and approximately one hour commuting distance to Adelaide. Dublin and Mount Compass sale yards are readily accessible. Significant acreage, a beautiful property, it's time for the new custodian of this rich piece of farming history to take over. This is a genuine sale. Your inspection is highly recommended.
