‘Dunnamore Pastoral’ comprises over 3,000 acres of mixed farming, irrigation, productive soil-types, Goulburn River frontage, and an excellent farm plan over an operational footprint of 22 crown allotments on 11 properties.
Development and scale
The vendor, Faraday Valley Pty Ltd, has progressively acquired 11 neighbouring properties that now provide complimentary production of cattle, sheep, fodder, crops and a carbon credit program. ‘McFadyens’, a holding of 480 acres has been converted from a conventional small dairy farm layout to a laser levelled 320 acres under a 960m lineal irrigator, providing enhanced production, income and fodder security to the entire farm operation.
Land quality
The holding is underpinned by a versatile variation of lighter loamy soil to moisture retaining greyer loam soils, all proactively improved by lime and superphosphate application and rotational crop and grazing. This productive base supports a flexible, mixed farming enterprise.
Water security and infrastructure
The connection to the Goulburn Murray Water system supplies the irrigated production and some on-farm storage. Seasonal creek flows are accessed for additional storage. Almost all farm paddocks are supplied with stock and domestic water from two high quality bores.
Key improvements include:
• 960m linear irrigator above 320 acres
• Modern 24m x 21m machinery shed
• Recently constructed three-stand shearing shed and sheep yards
• 1,000t silo storage capacity
• Steel cattle yards with covered crush and scales
• Carbon credit agreement to 134 acres
• 3 residences
‘Dunnamore Pastoral’ offers scale and versatility rarely available in the Goulburn Valley. This consolidated holding of over 3,000 acres provides a turnkey opportunity to operate an efficient, high-capacity mixed farming enterprise.
Expressions of interest are invited by 4.00pm Friday 15 May.
