‘Wilford’, consisting of 6393 acres, is a proven good quality, versatile & highly improved property that has always performed well as either a breeding, growing or fattening enterprise. The current owners for the last eight and a half years, initially bred and fattened but in later years have used the property as a growing property for their northern Weaners. It is well located just 90kms from Emerald and is good improved scrub country.
Over the last 8 years the property has undergone an ongoing maintenance program keeping the improvements in great working condition. These improvements include 16 Klms of electric fencing replaced with new barb in 2003 and a further 3 Klms renewed in 2009. A new 10,000 yard dam was completed in 2008 and the home has been extensively renovated, including new roof and insulation, painting and floor coverings throughout. In 2008 the entire improved country was re-pulled taking only a total of 68 hours with two dozers to complete at a cost of just over $7/acre.
With open dams to all paddocks on the property the current owners have run the property absentee since its purchase, making it a very low cost additional area. For the last 18 months the property has only been lightly stocked with 650 grower steers and heifers that have come onto the property as Weaner’s. This has resulted in the property grassing up and coming out of the 2009 dry with a good body of feed that has responded well to the 9.5′ of rain recieved so far this wet season.
There are 14 open dams on ‘Wilford’ making it highly suitable as an additional area or for drought relief. The double bitumen road frontage allows all weather access. On top of this there is twice weekly mail, satellite television, mobile phone coverage throughout and rural power. Stock it up with either 1000 weaner’s or approx 750 adults and vendors will permit some stocking upon payment of the deposit. This property with it’s quick responding country is in a solid 25′ rainfall district renowned for getting an early season break more often than not.
This property is in excellent condition & ready to perform. With excellent location, low running costs, versatility, great country and improvements ‘Wilford’ will represent terrific buying and with highly committed vendors is an opportunity not to be missed.
