After 14 dedicated years of ownership, our vendors are preparing for their next move, leaving behind a legacy of substantial infrastructure development on this approximately 232 hectare property. Their efforts have seen the implementation of irrigation systems, fencing upgrades and laneway construction for simple and efficient stock management. Additionally, a new home was constructed in 2015, adding modern comfort.

Primarily utilised for dairy support, grazing winter cows, and R1 and R2 heifers year-round. The self-sufficiency of the farm is evident as all supplements are grown and retained on-farm, with baleage and straw provided to grazing stock. The versatile soils support a rotation of cereals and small seed production, plus added opportunities for trading stock further diversifying revenue streams.

Benefitting from the climate and the pressurised Mayfield Hinds Valetta Irrigation Scheme. With crop yields in the unirrigated areas are not far behind those of the irrigated sections, highlighting the property's consistency. The site's advantageous location and unique characteristics, including topography and climate conditions, underscore its value.

The Authorised Land Use is held by the irrigation company managing environmental compliance for shareholders while delivering water. Forward-thinking development plans ensure future prosperity for the fortunate new owner.

In addition to the new home, the property boasts a charming three-bedroom cottage, providing further accommodation options for staff or potential for rental income.
