This productive 256 hectare (632 acre) farm enterprise at Shelford, on Victoria's western plains is well suited to all grazing pursuits, while also accommodating cereal and oilseed production. Subdivided into 10 main paddocks, the property includes an array of native shelter belts, with water for livestock provided by two dams, plus troughs which are fed from a solar pump on the Leigh River; there are also two unused bores. An internal laneway system assists with livestock management, while fencing is predominantly new, with a small section of original station fencing.
The soil types range from a mix of grey loam and heavier clay, with approximately 70% being arable and the balance consisting of some basalt stone country with some heavier barriers, best suited to grazing.
The vendor's have taken great care during their custodianship to preserve much of the critically endangered native grasslands of the area. Their ongoing management, weed control and seasonal grazing practices benefit the enterprise with additional income derived from native grassland off-sets, with scope to further increase the area under management.
For genuine sale, the property is zoned Farming Zone, in the Golden Plains Shire and just 40 minutes from Geelong and Ballarat and 100 minutes from Melbourne.
