Dairy lane 190 acres

The Plains dairy country is well known for high production loam soils, typical of dairy farms in the area.<br/><br/>The spacious north-facing country homestead with its double-brick, wide shady verandas, alfresco and pool compliments the cattle farm.<br/><br/>Formal entry leads past the lounge room and office, into the open plan kitchen/dining and living room, and from the living room is sliding doors to the pool alfresco area. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry have been renovated and new paint is throughout the home.<br/><br/>The east end boasts an entertainment room which has a small bar and joins two separate bedrooms with walk-in and built-in robes. The entertainment room enters the pool area also. The west end has three more bedrooms but an ensuite is required and could be separate to the other end of the house for the family. <br/><br/>There is a large lock-up workshop with cement floors that is well hidden and a short step from the main homestead. <br/><br/>The beef farm is an assortment of old dairy, sheds, and adjoining opposite of them, remains an old knockdown fibro home that hasn't been used for more than 10 years. Yards and fences are adequate, and well-equipped bore feeds the farm for stock, lawns, and homestead. <br/><br/>After close to 100 years of the farm being in the family, the time is right to move. The seller explains "… over a 25-year period the owners built up the dairy herd to 140 cows and were producing grade 1 quality milk recognised by the milk company". In 2005, the family moved to a beef operation and off farm employment. For the last 10 years they have been leasing the farm to the next-door dairy farmer for attractive returns. There are 12 paddocks with laneways and water points to all. <br/><br/>Soil fertility is a feature with the current lessee producing quality silage and hay with plentiful additions of fertiliser adding to the potency of the soils… this farm grows some grass. Strategic tree planting and a lot of the fencing has been upgraded over recent years. <br/><br/>- 5-bedroom, 1-bathroom brick homestead.<br/>- Open plan kitchen and living room<br/>- Separate entertainment room<br/>- Double bay carport<br/>- Includes alfresco and pool<br/>- Reverse cycle air-conditioning<br/>- Solar hot water<br/>- Pristine water supply by bore feeds all water troughs and house<br/>- Multiple sheds including old dairy<br/>- 9 x 16 lockup 4-bay, 2-door powered workshop with cement floor<br/><br/>Inspections by appointment only but drive-by inspections are encouraged.
