This would be one of the best pasture improved farms in the Bega Valley.The use and re use of water is a major benefit and is optimised for the farm. The dairy has been built to suit a much larger farm and will impress any astute purchaser.
This is an ideal dairy farm for someone to break out on their own and get a start in the dairy industry.
