In addition there is a 4 stand shearing shed with ample shedding capacity and well laid out sheep yards, extensive cattle handling facilities and an excellent compliment of sound steel farm sheds.

"Blackwood" has an expression of interest lodged for 400 megalitres in the proposed Lake Echo irrigation scheme that is currently in its due diligence phase.
As a stand alone property, a breeding property for livestock to be finished elsewhere, or to grow bulk of feed over the spring/summer as a winter run-off block, "Blackwood" is a quality holding with a sound management history and a proven track record of carrying capacity.
