The Farm

A large percentage of the property is arable and boasts an enviable track record of professional management and fertiliser application. Significant investment in pasture establishment and renovation has improved the carrying capacity substantially. Perennial pastures now comprise lucerne, rye grass, fescue and clovers including approximately 700 acres of well established lucerne.

The country ranges from mostly flat arable alluvial creek flats along the double frontage to Mccallum and One Mile Creek ranging to gently undulating valleys including open slopes and low hill country.

The property is subdivided into over 100 paddocks with laneways linking most paddocks.

The soils comprise a mixture of highly productive orange granites and volcanic red and brown basalt types, well suited to the pasture production and cereal cropping that has been implemented.
