The country comprises rich irrigation flats, to rising undulating country with spectacular views.

Water supply is excellent in terms of water availability and overall quality with a large artesian bore which was originally drilled to 800 feet equipped with a 22 kilowatt 3 phase Franklin motor new in 2003. The Southern Cross pump was reconditioned at the same time, on well master hose.

Quoted at approximately 2,500 gallons per hour (capacity of 8,000 gallons per hour) pumping from 90 metres at approx 450ppm.

There are three major hydrants along the front for the large traveling irrigator and there are three hydrants on the eastern side irrigation flats for the smaller irrigator. The main irrigation line runs through the middle of the irrigation paddocks and is 4 inch PVC.

There are 6 dams on the property most of which are spring fed and also includes a very large 2 million gallon dam. There are also 2 other lakes near the homestead with the creek system flowing through.

The vineyard is fed from the vineyard bore via 3 inch PVC to a 15,000 concrete header tank (this also supplies the house and winery with water), which has an automatic float switch there are 7 irrigation stations fed by Grundfos pump. The Sauvignon Blanc is fed direct from the bore in two stages with 3 inch PVC to the top of the planting. The 5,000-gallon tank next to the main header tank forms part of the wastewater holding, together with an Amiad irrigation and sand filter system, ‘pushed’ out to the vineyard through a Grundfos pump.

The cattle yards are complete with undercover handling area, race, crush and are capable of handling up to 200 head of cattle with further trucking roadway area that has handled a double decker semi-trailer.
