45 Watson Lane, Shepparton VIC 3630

This blue-chip property is in a renowned premier location featuring 155 acres just eight minutes north of Shepparton. The current owners are relocating to New Zealand to be closer to family. Bluechip Genetics has been developed on a band of fertile Lemnos loam soil in the Zeerust area, and would be perfect for a horse, beef or a small dairy enterprise where detail is appreciated. The small touches that have been added throughout this property start at the impressive entrance from a sealed no-exit road. This ensures primacy and safety for all animals. The tree-lined paddocks are linked by wide, open laneways, which have been thoughtfully positioned for easy livestock movement and management. The tree-lined paddocks are linked by wide, open laneways, which have been thoughtfully positioned for easy livestock management.A 152 meg ground water system is an added bonus producing 2 - 3 megs per day of quality water. The Wisconsin-style barn is a feature and it formed the backdrop for five Australasian price records to be broken in the dairy industry within the last decade. A three-month-old calf sold for $101,000 on this property, and many International Dairy Week Champions have lived here.When the dairy was dispersed in 2016, the sale created an Australasian record gross and average price for a one-day dairy dispersal sale. All the hard work has been done from the horse fencing to the tree-planting and intelligent infrastructure stockmen will appreciate. It includes two generous hay sheds, an eco-shelter for young stock, a dairy which still works, and a comfortable three-bedroom freshly painted home. The barn includes a temperature-controlled laboratory, and undercover stock crush. The paddocks surrounding the barn are double-fenced, because the area was formerly an export-qualified facility, and the infrastructure remains. The farm has a spear point with a 152ML annual licence, and an additional underground supply of Stock and Domestic water. There is a 90ML water licence on the farms back drain. There is also an 8ML re-cycle dam. The farm has been freshly sown down to Ryegrass this autumn, and fully fertilised. The property is 500m from the Zeerust Primary School, and within minutes from a number of quality high schools, and The Goulburn Valley Base Hospital in Shepparton. It is also just a 45-minute drive from the famous port town of Echuca.
Inspection is recommended, and will not disappoint.
