Situated at 1153 Moorlands Road on the highly regarded southern slopes of the Marmon-Jabuk range. The property is a well-balanced cropping and grazing enterprise. Located just 20 minutes away from a major grain receival hub at Tailem Bend and the farm is a stone's throw away from bitumen roads in both directions. The property positioned in a reliable 350mm rainfall area will be offered as a whole, or as three separate contingent lots. Avalon in total is 1823 ha or 4,505 acres and consists of 3 separate titles. The farm has road frontage and separate water meters to all three titles. • Section 1 is 629 ha or 1555 acres • Section 2 is 595 ha or 1470 acres • Section 3 which adjoins across the road is 599 ha or 1480 acres. The cropping country on the property has been well managed with good agronomic practices and currently there is (approx.) 1000 ha or 2470 acres under crop, with rotations consisting of Canola, Wheat, Barley and Vetch for hay and pasture. The soils consist of red brown loams over clay and limestone, plus some loamy sands over clay and some rising country that has been fenced off to long term pastures, including Lucerne. Broken up into 31 main paddocks, the fencing is in good to average stock proof condition. There is also a feedlot on section 2 consisting of 4 pens that have permanent shade shelters, this has been used to either finish off lambs or as containment yards for ewes within the sheep operation. Avalon has been running a 700 to 800 head self-replacing Dohne flock which has consistently produced over 120% weaning rates, whilst some of the flock has been mated to White Suffolk's for prime lamb production. Secured mains water, supplies tanks and concrete troughs with mostly renewed blue line poly pipe throughout the farm. There is a new solar pump servicing some of the farm with bore water. There is also a bore with a windmill servicing part of section 3. The capital improvements on the farm are in excellent condition. They include a 3-stand raised board shearing shed which is capable of storing approximately 350 head under cover, and has a good set of post and K-rail bugle yards adjacent. The shedding on the farm is in excellent condition and consist of a brand new fully enclosed workshop shed and implement shed which is 16 x 9m. and a larger fully enclosed hay/implement shed which is 14 x 24m, built in 2014 . Section 3 has an older implement shed which is used for storage of equipment. There is a very spacious 5-bedroom home on the farm with new carpets throughout. It is set in a sheltered position with a lovely garden and has a picturesque outlook over some of the cropping ground. "Avalon" is a well-cared for, strong cropping-based property with a mix of warm breeding and grazing country, it has well set up and balanced capital infrastructure and represents a unique opportunity to acquire a well-managed farm that is in good health. The slopes of the Marmon-Jabuk range have always been well regarded for their reduced frost risk, and soil types. Please contact Alastair Johnson on 0427 609 751 to organise an inspection.
