One of the SW regions finest farming/horticultural properties is available for sale following 80 years ownership by the Atherton family. Athertons Orchards has long been the supplier for outstanding high quality Pink Lady apples to markets around the world. The combination of well-maintained rich soils and abundance of water via the large dam and 3 x bores allows this property to produce the highest quality fruit across approx. 42 acres, but also enables the owners to graze first class cattle across the balance of the 214 acre property. Almost any fruit or vegetable crop could be considered for this property (climate permitting). Sub soil irrigation main lines are situated across a vast area of the property that is not currently being cropped.
The quality of infrastructure upon this property is second to none. No expense has been spared to establish, construct and service all aspects of this thriving business and property. The capacity to harvest and store the seasonal apple crop in the latest technology controlled atmosphere cool stores housed within the enormous shed facility enables the owners to continually maximize market prices. Replacement cost for this facility would be well above $1 million.
There are two quality homes located on the property. The first was built in 1990, a Ross North design 4 x 2, while the second home is a 4 x 2 constructed in 1995 by Princi Builders. Both homes are in fantastic condition, always well maintained and built to a high standard. Features for both homes include - 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, double lock up garages, reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, slow combustion wood fires, insulation, rainwater tanks and reticulated lawns and gardens. Both homes plus are serviced by bitumen driveways from the front gate to the garage. The five sheds also benefit from a wonderful bitumen hard stand area, another reflection of the expense the owners have committed to across the many projects over many years.
