Owned and operated by the same family for the last 50 years, this prime rural farming property offering a wonderful investment opportunity is on the market for the first time. New owners will not only appreciate the fantastic rural lifestyle on offer here but will also benefit from the immaculately presented and well established orchard farming enterprise with associated income stream.
Double security gates lead into this fully fenced 116 acre property. A 155ML water allocation accompanies the sale and all watering is via a gravity fed underground irrigation system, resulting in massive power saving. In addition, all power created by the 10Kw solar system goes straight into the grid. To speed up the irrigation process, a 40Hp electric motor and pump can be utilised.
There are 2 dams on the property - one close to the main farm residence and an additional 7 megalitre dam at the far end of the farm which is fed by underground springs - allowing it to remain full almost all year round. A fully computerised energy saving diesel pump with filter is also part of the inventory.
A separately fenced and irrigated paddock area (approx. 8 acres) with shed is perfect for those seeking to keep a few horses/cattle on the property.
