Location:
Wanawong is located 6km north of Boree Creek township. Roads surround the property making for easy access and grain cartage.

Water & rainfall:
The 27 year average rainfall from 1983 to 2009 is 18 inches or 450mm. The private Birrego water scheme is connected to the western portion of the land. The balance of the country is supplied by dams. The dams have excellent catchment and holding ability and all dams have been enlarged and cleaned in recent years and are currently lapping at the top. First-rate catchment and storage of rainwater supplies the two homes.

Soils:
Gentle undulating red loam soils, native timber to Wanawong is murray pine & yellow and grey box. A conservative calculation identifies that the total land area is 92% arable. The non-arable areas include the improvements, tracks and trees.

The home features ducted evaporative air conditioning, wood heater, and a reverse cycle air conditioner. The second home is an older weatherboard house on a separate title with its own access road.

Remarks:
Wanawong reflects the care and attention to detail that the vendors have show over many years. As a buyer you will appreciate that very little money is required to be spent in the next five years, unlike many properties that lack the fertiliser history and infrastructure. Wanawong can be purchased on its own or consider putting The Peppers (or parts) with it for a combined parcel of up to 4535 acres. The ability to acquire an economically viable parcel of well manage land that is all adjoining is rare. The land area lends itself to continuous cropping with long runs suited to auto steer controlled traffic farming systems. Wanawong is an attractive property with great infrastructure that will reward you for many years to come.

Tired of looking at run down properties, then come and look at Wanawong, you will be impressed.
