Top class Heytesbury district dairy farm opportunity

THE Heytesbury district is well-known for its high production capabilities along with reliable rainfall of around 35 inches in most years.

The rolling hills of the Simpson and Cooriemungle district are especially productive and handle the higher rainfall with ease.

Charles Stewart Real Estate has recently listed a superb opportunity to secure a productive enterprise in this standout pocket of the Heytesbury district.

Located at 1471 Cooriemungle Road, Cooriemungle, this highly productive and versatile 319-acre property is located strategically between Port Campbell and Timboon, which are within a 15-minute drive. It is 35 minutes from Colac and an hour from Geelong.

Selling agent Michael Stewart said this holding is very suitable to dairying and dairy support, beef, a stud operation or prime lambs.

“You can’t go wrong here. Everything is in place to make a go of it; great infrastructure already in place with a handy 37 meg drought-proof dam licenced for irrigation.

“The improved pastures are highly productive, supported by an excellent fertiliser history, with livestock management made easy via a well-connected laneway system.

“This is well worth the look if you’re considering a secure block to support your current operation or looking to take your first step into farming in an area with more reliable rainfall.”

Overall, this is an immaculately presented, managed and maintained property, providing top-class, gently rolling, rich arable land featuring highly fertile sandy loam and clay loam soils.

In addition to the large irrigation dam, there are seven other dams to troughs in all 50 well-fenced and sheltered paddocks.

There is an excellent, fully equipped 21 aside herringbone dairy, new “Waikato” cups, new CR1 cup removers, 12,000L vat, auto feed system, undercover AI race with 50 cow capacity, a new crush, 220 cow yard and office.

Adjacent is a feed pad, nearby calving 30mx20m shed, workshop, machinery, hay and multipurpose shedding.

Neat, well-appointed four-bedroom home with open plan Blackwood kitchen/dining/living area with R/C air-conditioner plus wood heater, ensuite, family bathroom, lobby, outdoor deck, entertaining area, and large four car garage/workshop shed.
