Located in the Shire of Carnamah, 'Bowhill' is comprised of three contiguous titles 13 kilometres east (18kms by road) of Carnamah townsite, on the fully sealed Bunjil-Carnamah Road.
The total area of the property is 1179.89 hectares (2915 acres). Approximately 880 hectares (2175 acres) are considered suited to broadacre cropping.
'Bowhill' is perfectly sized to be an add-on holding for nearby landholders. However, with all the necessary infrastructure in place, plus accommodation, producers from further afield could easily run a satellite enterprise.
Soil types are a good mixture of very productive medium red country, red sandy loams and gravelly loams, where York Gum, Mallee, Tamar and Jam tree was the original vegetation.
The property gently undulates from the north, falling to the valley floor on the southern boundary along the Bunjil-Carnamah Road.
