Alamil East is a breeding and fattening property suited to both cattle and sheep. It has a highly valued underground water supply and is located in the well known Field region near Meningie in South Australia's Upper South East. The area is known for producing quality prime cattle and lambs plus being sought after cropping and hay producing country. The property contains 820.6 hectares and pastures are made up of lucerne, lucerne/veldt and veldt. The current owners run a quality Angus herd and calves are marketed on farm, on hooks or to the Naracoorte livestock exchange. Alamil East has good improvements including a four bedroom stone home that has recently had the kitchen renovated, polished floor boards in all rooms, air conditioning in the living room and kitchen and roomy living and dining area. Two car garage, two sheds ( one recently upgraded) steel cattle yards, sheep yards and a shearing shed that is not in use. Fencing is constantly maintained and all in good condition. The pasture renovation programme has seen about 198 hectares of lucerne sown this year. The country consists of flat to gently undulating sandy loam over clay and limestone, which is regarded as excellent lucerne country. Cattle are raised and finished on recently renovated lucerne and veldt pastures. A stand out feature of Alamil East is the excellent underground water supply. There are two wedge holes that supply good quality stock water through a modern watering system with a remote leak detection unit providing reliable monitoring and feedback. Both water supplies are equipped with a solar pump and water is pumped to three elevated poly tanks and fed onto troughs through a recently upgraded poly pipe system. This system is considered unique in this area and has successfully increased water supply and reduced running costs. There is also mains supply backup if required. Alamil East is a well improved property that has been carefully managed and improved. Expressions of Interest close at 2pm on October 6th 2021. For inspection contact Peter Taylor 0439652221
