Set between the major arterials of Alexandrina and Port Elliot Roads, you need only research the region's 20-year plan to see how hot this multi-generational property really is.
Three freehold titles of approx. 336.98 hectares (or 832.7 acres) of near-residential land ripe for potential redevelopment down the track, or the chance to carry on a long legacy of grazing, high-yield cropping, and quality wool production.
Over the years, its successful hay and cropping program has produced high-yielding cereals, pulses, and legumes; its quality wool topping wool sales courtesy of its self-replacing Merino flock - a testament to the ongoing pursuit for wool production excellence.
Tipping its hat for tourism, the property once held farm shearing and wool-handling exhibitions, drawing countless tourists from across Australia and internationally, supplementing its farm income. Operations ceased some 10 years ago.
More recently, wheat, barley, beans, canola, and a barley/vetch mix for standing stock feed have become the norm, stamping this no-waste, almost entirely arable acreage an even rarer commodity…
