The farm presents in excellent condition and comprises of approximately 144 hectares or 350 acres of true red basalt soils throughout. Soft undulation, shelter and sun make this farm ideal for growing grass for a dairy operation, but would be equally suited to beef production, intensive cropping or horticulture, located in such a strong and reliable district.

The property is capable of milking approximately 200 cows and has done so in recent years, with almost the entire farm utilised in the milking platform. Approximately 16.5 acres of trees contain some lovely natural bush and a small eucalyptus nitens plantation. The 22 unit swing over Herringbone dairy is well presented and centrally located in the middle of the property. All internal roading is in good condition and enables the movement of vehicles and cattle throughout the farm. There are numerous outbuildings in good working order, providing space for machinery and fodder storage.

The circa 1975 brick 4 bedroom homestead is in excellent order and provides a very comfortable standard of living. Well positioned near the entrance to the farm in private and well established grounds. The property holds a 180ML water licence from the gravity fed Winnaleah Irrigation Scheme, and an approved permit for a 36ML dam to supplement the supply of irrigation water. Together this ensures the viability of this highly fertile property into the future.
