Offering this outstanding large-scale freehold irrigation and dry land farming development opportunity.
Comprising 571.49*ha (1,412*ac), with a superb location and access, on the western edge of the Merbein irrigation district.
"Woorak" provides all the critical factors to develop as a large-scale Greenfield irrigation site, or to retain as a sustainable mixed farming agricultural investment.
* Majority of the land is productive arable red loam soils, ideal for producing a range of high value commercial plantings,
* featuring favourable topography with the scale for further development,
* access to water - 473.6*megalitre AUL,
* proximity to skilled labour resources and specialised service business providers,
* a Mediterranean climate, all critical factors for irrigation and farming production.
Centrally located, improvements include the solid three-bedroom homestead, multiple machinery sheds, hay sheds, good boundary fence and livestock watering points.
Irrigation water is delivered via a channel system supplied by Lower Murray Water. Currently water is pumped direct from the channel through a Cummins diesel motor driving a Southern Cross pump with 6" suction, delivering to 4 x 20.23 ha (50 ac.) centre pivot sites via 6" mains. The towable centre machine is driven with a diesel HATZ air-cooled 5KVA Genset.
Located approximately 20 kilometres west of the regional city of Mildura with frontages to Wargan and Walker roads, direct and easy access is provided with a sealed (Meridian) road train permitted road, plus a well-maintained all-weather gravel road which is scheduled to be sealed.
The growing demand for large scale developments means that "Woorak" is well positioned, with significance in size and the ability to commence with a balance of irrigating and dry land farming.
Currently there are no permanent plantings on the property.
The greater Sunraysia region attracts strong institutional investment in agriculture. "Woorak" showcases the aggregation's Greenfield site diversity and suitability to numerous agricultural enterprises including permanent horticultural development (table or wine grapes), irrigated cash crops (hay, cereals, melons, vegetables, asparagus, flowers), pasture development for livestock grazing and feed lotting.
"Woorak" has been held in the same family ownership for 100 years. Now represents one of the few remaining large scale irrigated parcels of land within close proximity to Mildura.
