"Mount Nanima" a name synonymous with agriculture in the Wellington District is offered for sale for only the third time in its history. A property of undulating basalt soils that hosts a productive mixed farming operation on Wellington's doorstep. The position is ideal being only 5kms from town, yet only 30 minutes to Dubbo and an hour to Orange and Mudgee. The Macquarie River frontage is spectacular and provides the basis for the well-planned stock watering system throughout the property. This system provides water to a 20,000 gallon tank that in turn supplies numerous other tanks on a gravity feed scheme to troughs plus the homestead and shed areas. A windmill equipped bore supplements this scheme.
A huge body of feed is currently present and consists of pastures of lucerne, clovers, fescue, rye grass and native grasses. The grazing regime is based on holistic management and allows for the running of 800 Crossbred ewes and progeny and 250 yearling cattle. This is a highly productive property that is well managed and carries a strong reputation in the district. Fencing is in good order, with hinge joint and netting in the 18 main paddocks and Western Fencing (electric) providing the subdivision in the grazing cells. 620 acres of "Mount Nanima" have been farmed in the past, however current management has been to renovate pastures rather than grow grain crops. Shade timber is Grey Box and Kurrajong with some Pine.
The improvements are all in very good order and are led by the grand homestead of blue stone like blocks that is Circa 1928. Built in a Colonial Style this home has four main bedrooms, the master bedroom includes a dressing room and modern ensuite, fire places are throughout along with a wood heater that is double sided. The formal lounge along with the bedrooms and hallways have polished Jarra floors. These combined with the french doors, picture rails, bay windows, Wunderlich ceilings and the pull cord light switches provide a link to the historic past of this home. A modern marble benchtop kitchen, office, main bathroom and large, wide verandahs complete this home. The garden is a feature with large trees, rose gardens, shrubs, lawns and in ground salt water pool, which compliments the grace of the homestead. Garden water is abundant and two automatic watering systems service the garden. Further accommodation is provided by a fully renovated 2 bedroom cottage, with new carpet, verandahs and pop up sprinkler system.
Working improvements include a 2 stand electric, raised board woolshed that has weldmesh and w strap sheep yards that are well designed and have both the drafting and drenching areas under cover. The steel cattle yards include a central drafting yard, circular race, crush and weighing box, level loading ramp, shade and water.
