Overview

Table Grap Vineyard with Lease-back options

This exceptional rural cropping property offers a substantial 23 hectare (approximately 57 acres) table grape vineyard located on the southern fringe of Merbein, just about 11 kilometres from Mildura. The property spans multiple titles with frontage to Channel Road and Main Avenue South, providing excellent access to township services and freight routes, facilitating efficient logistics for agricultural operations.

The vineyard is established on Merbein's renowned red sandy loam soils, supporting a well-planned layout with various grape varieties including Flame Seedless, Menindee Seedless, Luisco, Melody, and Jack Salute, with plantings dating predominantly from 2018 to 2019 and additional blocks planted in 2022. Recent upgrades have been implemented to maintain the competitiveness and productivity of the enterprise.

Water security is a key feature of this property, supported by a Water Use Licence with an annual use limit of approximately 252.5 megalitres. The vineyard benefits from a modern automated irrigation system that delivers dual-line drip irrigation, filtration, and fertigation controlled through Rainbird technology, enabling precise and efficient water and nutrient management. This system reduces labor requirements and allows for optimized quality and yield management throughout the growing season.

The infrastructure on the property is extensive and designed to support large-scale operations. The operations hub includes a high-clearance enclosed shed covering 2,619 square metres, which incorporates an integrated coolroom and office facilities. There is also a large concrete hardstand area for loading activities. Additional improvements include workers' quarters, farm sheds, and well-maintained pump and chemical storage facilities. The property is connected to three-phase power and filtered town water at key buildings, ensuring reliable utilities to support operational needs, particularly during harvest time.

Zoned for farming and surrounded by established horticultural properties, this holding represents a practical and investment-grade asset suitable for established growers seeking expansion or agricultural investors who value hard infrastructure and proven grape varieties. The property offers a strategic location that shortens the supply chain from paddock to market, placing your brand within easy reach of Merbein and Mildura.
