Kevin Hicks Real Estate will be selling the final stage of farming property on account of Pat & Jean Tully (the Fothergill family) who have owned this property for a lifetime. The Fothergill family name is renowned within the district and this parcel has been leased and well farmed for the past 20 years and now will be sold with vacant possession. An ideal grazing farming opportunity which will suit the cropping farming pursuit as well.
Comprising 4 titles with strong boundaries, 268 HA – 664 acres (approx.) of land will be sold as one consolidated lot. The location of the property is convenient, only 10 mins north west of Violet Town and 20 mins from Shepparton with the south west corner of the property having frontage to the Shepparton Violet Town bitumen road. This paddock has an old set of cattle yards in need of repair and well utilised in the past for their cattle handling. In recent years the property has been partially cropped and utilised for grazing sheep with regular fertiliser history, renewed fencing throughout and lime and gypsum application last year.
The property is subdivided into 8 main paddocks with excellent dam storage and reliable rainfall providing for livestock needs. The topography of the land is complimentary with rising hill country that is arable and healthy soil type with light stone and extensive flats with heavier soil profiles.
The hill top paddock and original home site comprises a Colourbond lock up shed (3 bays) and a small set of sheep yards conveniently placed. The frontage to the property is Shire Dam Road and a long driveway to the shed is picturesque and private with an elevated view of the surrounding district.
This property presents an ideal opportunity for local farmers to expand their farming portfolio and a desirable lifestyle opportunity to build (STCA) and capitalise on a second farming income.
This property will be auctioned in Shepparton at the Park Lake Hotel on Friday 16th December @ 11am and prior offers will not be considered.
