646ha (1,596ac) approx. as a whole or in two lots
In the heartland of the renowned Willaura area is this highly productive property located in one of Victoria's if not the country's most reliable districts. Situated just 25km from the township of Lake Bolac and 65km from Hamilton this property is brilliant in every way on highly productive sandy loam soils.
This property lends itself to a multitude of agricultural pursuits, as approximately 90% of the property is arable, which makes it the ideal turn key operation or as an equally ideal opportunity to commence a pure cropping or continue a highly successful livestock enterprise. Early access for cropping purposes is possible to the successful purchaser.
Well fenced into 33 main paddocks, the property has been farmed predominantly as prime lamb operation running 3,000 composite ewes with rotational cropping of cereals, pastures and fodder crops, turning off approximately 4,000 prime lambs at 28kg dressed weight average annually. A substantial asset to the property is having town water connected (non-potable) which is set up to a network of troughs and has 29 catchment dams throughout.
Available as a whole or in two contingent lots:
Lot 1 - Home Block 918 acres (371.6ha) approx.
