Spectacular Coastal Dairy Property
This medium sized dairy farm at Southern Cross, minutes from Warrnambool and Koroit must be seriously considered as one of the most spectacular pieces of real estate in its class within the region. As a dairy however it holds its own in any efficiency modelling, with excellent output generated from a heavily grass based feed system. Inherent soil fertility and drainage here ensure pasture growth rates are high on modest supplementery inputs. The property is perfectly laid out for a dairy. A sealed bitumen road bisects the property. Most of the milking area is on the North side which has a track through the middle giving access to nearly all paddocks. Approximately 60 acres of red volcanic country is irrigated via a Bosch irrigation system using around 90 megalitres of water. The total irrigation, water available is 216 megalitres so there is vast room for expansion which could all be done on a similar soil type. 60% of the farm is heavier clay loams which hold moisture well into the summer months. Production figures speak for themselves. The property is currently operating at a very comfortable level of intensity with 260 cows producing 6550 LT/Cow in addition to all heifers and calves being grown on the farm. Stock water is secure with a primary bore at the dairy filling a 10,000 gall tank, pressurised around the farm in 2 line to 1000 gallon troughs. A 40 stand rotary built in 1998 is a simple milking platform supported by a 12000 litre Packo vat. Home comforts are an important component of this property. The vendor has beautifully restored the main house with 11' ceilings and polished floors and added very attractive timber french doors along the feature side of the house. It is now of modern style with ensuite to the main , 1 of 4 bedrooms. Two living areas cater well for a family. Exterior decoration has also been done very tastefully. A second home is mid way through a substantial renovation also, which will be complete by a sale date. This area offers fantastic amenities. Warrnambool is a vibrant rural city with excellent educational, health and entertainment services. It is a rapidly growing rural centre with a very bright future.
