At the Lake king Tavern (unless sold prior)
A mixed farming enterprise in a reliable 300mm rainfall area situated 16kms from the Mount Madden CBH facility and 30kms from Lake King.
This property has had some extensive capital works completed over the past 5 years. These works include new internal fencing, new sheep yards and a water bore.
The water bore is situated to the rear of Roe Location 2896 and pumps to tanks strategically located around the property via a network of 35mm poly pipe. This bore has the capacity to pump 1,500 litres per hour and is capable of supplying water to 6000 sheep. The bore is operated via an Airwell pump that is connected by 4.5km of airline to the variable speed air compressor located at the shearing shed. The water supply has been tested twice and been found to be suitable for all classes of sheep.
A new set of Cyclone sheep yards has also been part of the capital works program and join the raised board shearing shed. A section of the sheep yards that adjoin the shearing shed are undercover. These sheep yards are complimented by a central laneway system that branches off into four other laneways to give access to all paddocks. The internal fencing has largely replaced utilising galvanised posts, with mostly all paddocks fenced to contour and soil type.
The soil types consist mainly of medium sand over clay, sand over gravel and clay with a small area of sand that has been fenced off. Colstoun has had a good fertiliser history with 12kg of Phosphorous used per hectare with every sown crop over the past 6 years.
The property comes with 6 grain silos, a fertiliser shed/ raised board shearing shed and shed over part of the sheep yards. The property is watered by 13 dams, 4 cup and saucer tanks and numerous troughs that are all supplied from the bore.
The 2 bedroom/sleep-out cottage has recently had some renovations carried out both internally and externally.
Colstoun represents an excellent opportunity for persons interested in a farming enterprise in a reliable grazing and cropping area.
