Here is the farm you've been looking for- 76 ha (186.3 acres + Crown road area of a few acres) of easily accessible, productive country with sensational scenery and abundant water. The shed-style accommodation will amaze you by its detail and comfort and there is building entitlement for your permanent home. Netherly Farm is 32 kms from Crookwell, 86 kms to Goulburn. A right of carriageway from the property entrance allows good access to the heart of the property. The property is 90% cleared, with attractive timbered areas providing shelter on the higher sections. Soils are productive, approximately 2/3 granite and 1/3 shale. This is traditional Merino sheep country, with a minimum 250 DSE. It will run 40 cows and calves in a good season and comfortably averages 25. Until recently, Netherly Farm has been run as a free-range piggery. It is a perfect location for such an enterprise, being 1.5 hours to Canberra and with easy access to Sydney and the Southern Highlands without being encumbered by Sydney Water catchment restrictions. Further information on the piggery operation is available at www.limerickfreerange.com.au. The property is mostly east-facing, providing early frost-thaw. The undulating countryside provides plenty of leeward hillside shelter. Pastures are a healthy mix of grasses; there is always something in peak condition: naturalised rye grass, sub-clover, microlena; red grass and kangaroo grass in the lower areas provide summer feed. The fencing is mostly good; five paddocks with secure, stock-proof boundaries. An old set of cattle yards needs some work; another set is suitable for pigs, sheep, goats, etc. 15 tonne silo. Water availability and security is a strong feature of Netherly Farm. The average rainfall is 700 mls/annum. There are seven dams plus permanent springs and soaks. Three of the dams are spring fed. One creek is seasonal, another spring fed and permanent. A watering system feeds to concrete troughs and garden taps from tanks filled from the creek. Many ornamental trees, well established and continuing to mature, create a beautiful garden setting, along with expansive lawned surroundings and garden beds containing a lovely, hardy mix of perennials. Extensive orchard; well-built, raised-bed vegetable garden; assorted sheds for poultry, garden equipment, etc. Very comfortable and spacious accommodation, east facing with a full-width front verandah.
