96.66 ha (238.85 acres) – Prime cropping farm on 5 titles, within 2-3 minutes from Sheffield. It is a highly productive pastoral offering having produced potatoes, onions, poppies, cereal crops and silage/fodder in rotation over an extended period of time while backed by grazing of cattle in fallow periods.

Approximately 90 hectares (222.5 acres) is serviced by 5” underground irrigation mains (2900 metres – 24 hydrants) serviced from dam allocations and 4 active bores. Cropping land has undergone an extensive programme of renovation. This season has contracted crops of potatoes and poppies in conjunction with the vendors other land holdings, the remainder is planted to rye grass and red clover (cowgrass). Up to 52.6ha (130 acres) at any one time has been under direct irrigation and crops including fodder. 35.5 Megalitres in dam storage allocations are licensed to the property, while the four active bores are rated to provide approximately 21,000 gallons per hour (2 X 7,000 gallon/hr; 1 X 4,000 Gallon/hr & 1 X 3,000 Gallon/hr.) a fifth bore (currently capped is capable of being returned to service).

The farm is fenced with cropping in mind, cattle grazing numbers are controlled accordingly or with temporary electric fencing. Boundaries are stock proof and are more recently predominantly vermin proofed against wallaby to protect crops and fodder. Fertiliser regimes are predominantly crop dependent, and required analysis, however a base regime across pastures is maintained. Soil PH is maintained in the range of 6 to 6.5.

Property infrastructure included 3 Pump sheds, 4 Active and 1 capped bore, Barn and Grain shed along with 2 sets of stock yards. There are numerous ideal house sites for a prospective purchaser wishing to make the property home and take full advantage over the property and surrounding mountain ranges that are a draw card of the region. With 5 titles, the potential options for development in the future are very healthy.
