Property Information
The Farm
The farm is well developed and maintained with fenced paddocks and a permanent 5 megalitres water licence.
Formerly a dairy farm, the property is Zone 1(a) Agriculture, potentially sustaining two cottages and has been used for beef cattle fattening, horse agistment and native flower horticulture. Due to its ready availability of sub-terranean water, consideration might also be given to water buffalo management and cheese manufacture.
Typical land use for the immediate region includes orchards, vineyards, avocado and olive groves, oyster and fish farms, hydroponic and/or ground-planted vegetables, cattle fattening lots and other tourism ventures such as Farm-Stay and B&B. Any number of these activities is also suitable for this property.
