8Ha/20Ac 16 Old Calder Highway, Harcourt 3453
"Excellent access from the Old Calder Highway, total 3293 M3 CA coolrooms (6) and a 3Br cottage".
This ready made farmlet was formerly an irrigated orchard and is made up of the fertile granite sandy loams of this renown district. The cleared block has good drainage down to the sealed Old Calder Highway frontage. It is in 1 title, zoned farming with a large dam . There is 3 phase power connected to the block which is essential for the operation of the massive controlled atmosphere coolstore measuring approx 60 x 25 metres, there is also a 25 x 10 metre skillion for storing bins and a 15 x 18 metre concrete apron. There is around 1180m2 of floor area under a very high gable roofline, all concrete flooring and partitioned into 6 controlled atmosphere rooms. The owners have recently modified part of this shed to cater for "Smart Fresh" TM treatment of fruit, a sought after program for blocking the fruit ripening process. The total volume of the CA storage is approx 3293m3. The balance of the shed is used for grading, packing, storing and treatment, which is a skillion roof over structure.
A very tidy 3 bedroom cottage adjacent to the shed features a large open planned kitchen, meals and family area, generous bedroom sizes (built in robes in 2 of them), spacious bathroom with separate bath and linen press as well as a compact computer or hobby room.
The north facing home has great aspect for trapping the winter sun, with a large outside entertaining area adjoining 2m and 3m wide paved verandahs on its north and east sides, an attractive bluestone block corner dwarf wall easily doubles as the ideal barbecue venue.
A large 15 x 6m iron shed doubles as a garage and storage workshop at the rear of the home.
