Quality grazing and cropping block with irrigation 793 ha (1959 acres)

Andawirra, the home of the Aylesbury Farm White Suffolk stud on Prentice Road at Karoonda is offered for the very first time.<br/><br/>The property represents a unique opportunity to secure a well set up grazing block with the ability to crop wall to wall. It also includes an irrigation license with 467 megs of yellow management zone water.<br/><br/>The land has a blend of strong loamy flats (55%) mixed with areas of sand over clay (40%). Nearly every acre that is sand over clay has been measured and has the ability to delve, with clay within 500 to 600 mm. This process can significantly increase pasture and crop yields and reduce frost risk. The remainder of the land is only a relatively small area (5%) of sandy rises.<br/><br/>The property has been well managed over the years with the cropping data as far back as the 80's available, this has mostly consisted of a wheat / vetch / barley / lupin rotation. <br/><br/>The irrigation is made up of two 50-acre circles with a moveable pivot. This could either boost a cropping program with watering to help start and finish grain and hay crops or simply be sown down to perineal pastures to suit a livestock enterprise. One of the circles is currently under crop and the other is spray topped and prepped for next year's program. <br/><br/>The stock water on the farm is secured by multiple bores with satellite tanks and good watering points in every paddock. There is a new solar pump on one bore and the other is pressurized from the house area.<br/><br/>Andawirra's fencing is impeccable with most gates new and swinging. A lot of the fences have been replaced over recent years and built extremely well with quality materials.<br/><br/>The property has good hay and implement shedding to complement the farm and a 2-stand shearing shed with good yards and a sizeable undercover livestock handling and holding area. The homestead is a solid, comfortable, character home with 3 bedrooms, office and an updated kitchen. <br/><br/>Andawirra truly represents an excellent opportunity to either add on to an existing enterprise or run as a standalone business with a mix of grazing and cropping in a 350mm rainfall area. With soil amelioration through deep ripping and delving, this farm could also have its carrying capacity or crop yields significantly improved. Coupled with the added benefit of irrigation it is a unique opportunity to secure a well-regarded block in the district.<br/><br/>• Well fenced and set up grazing farm with excellent handling facilities <br/>• Ability to crop wall to wall<br/>• Good underground stock water<br/>• 100 acres of irrigation (yellow management zone)<br/>• Comfortable home with ample shedding<br/>• Over 100 acres of clay-spreading at 100t to the acre<br/>• Ability to delve<br/><br/>• LGA.
