*Please note: We would love to show you more of this property. Currently, we are offering private inspections by appointment only (and in some instances we can arrange digital inspections).Attractive farmland with year-round water from the large dam all set up for gravity irrigating the summer flats for pasture and horticultural pursuits. Although the dam already holds a vast quantity of water, it can be readily extended to increase the capacity substantially more.The key feature of this property is the water! The dam is massive and all set up for gravity irrigating. The water can run by gravity down the irrigation canal to the lower flats with chocolate loam pasture which is already green and growing, even at the end of Summer. These lower flats would grow anything and would suit a wide range of horticultural pursuits. It is evident that the water table is not far below, and you can see it from the well and windmill in the middle of flats.Attractive farmland well set up for running cattle with large dam, yards, fencing and an attractive elevated 4 bedroom homestead and shed, all on two titles just 15 minutes out from Donnybrook.

Flats windmill which has a new head and fan installed in 2018.Water:The large dam could easily be increased with a meter or so added to the dam wall. We are seeing a lot of this in the district and assume this would be quite possible. It has been envisaged that irrigation from this dam downstream has not been developed but remains available depending on the agricultural planned. A wetland below the dam is obvious and without doubt a possible extension of capacity and or marron enterprises. Upstream, the creek also exhibits a wetland spring fed stream entirely available for construction of a dam to further allow increased capacity. There are 5 other smaller stock dams on this property.Currently grazing cattle this property would make a perfect horticultural farming property. The outlook and set up of this property, with elevation and north facing aspect and ample water will attract quite a lot of interest.- Abundant water with large dam and 5 stock dams.- 4 bedroom 2 bathroom HardiePlank homestead.- Large decked area.- Open plan kitchen, living and lounge area.- Air-conditioning and combustion wood fire heater.- Fully reticulated landscaped gardens.- Fruit orchard.- Oversized rainwater tank services the house.- Colourbond powered workshop 15m x 8m.- Stock yards, crush and troughs serviced by a lane system.
