Property Details for 1399 Shelford-Mt Mercer Rd, Shelford
Last Listing description (October 2021)
Originally part of the Golf Hill Estate, this highly productive 344 hectare (851 acre) farm enterprise at Shelford, on Victorias western plains boasts over a kilometre of Leigh River frontage. Currently running pulse, cereal and oil seed crops and dual purpose merinos in addition to 100ha of natural temperate grasslands that are part of the Victorian Volcanic Plains (VVP). Less than 1% of the original native vegetation of the VPP survives today and these remnants form important habitat for many threatened plants and animals.
The current owners have walked gently and listened to the land during their 15 year custodianship and ongoing management practices have helped to reverse the decline of the critically endangered grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic Plains and associated flora and fauna species of the area. Weed control, seasonal grazing and prescribed burning now help the enterprise enjoy the added benefits that come from working with the natural environment.
With over 200 ha of arable country the property is well suited to cereal and oilseed production as well as grazing pursuits.
