Overview
One of the Northern Rivers' Finest Cattle Enterprises
This exceptional rural lifestyle property is one of the Northern Rivers' finest cattle enterprises, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a highly productive and versatile agricultural holding. Spanning approximately 110 hectares (272 acres), this property is renowned for its reliable water sources, fertile soils, quality pastures, extensive infrastructure, and proven operational performance.
The property has demonstrated remarkable resilience, notably during the 2019 drought when it continued producing hay and supporting livestock producers locally and across the Tablelands. This resilience is attributed to outstanding water security and a farming system designed for sustained production.
Known as 'Edenhope', the farm presents a unique chance to secure one of the region's most productive farming operations. It caters to various agricultural pursuits, whether continuing the successful Jersey dairy enterprise or transitioning to intensive cattle breeding, backgrounding, or fattening operations. The farm's scale, water security, and proven performance are seldom found in today's market.
The land itself is a standout feature, with rich, fertile pastures comprising Rhodes grass, Setaria, Paspalum, Kikuyu, and clovers. Approximately 90% of the land is arable, providing extensive opportunities for rotational cropping, fodder production, dairying, or intensive livestock enterprises. This flexibility allows owners to adapt to evolving agricultural markets and opportunities.
Designed for productivity, the property boasts an outstanding network of gravel laneways and irrigation infrastructure that facilitates efficient stock movement and maximizes operational performance. Around 60 well-fenced paddocks are seamlessly connected, creating a highly functional livestock management system suitable for large-scale dairy and cattle operations.
The infrastructure is extensive and thoughtfully designed. The centerpiece is a modern 17-per-side herringbone swing-over dairy, supported by substantial shedding and strategically positioned support facilities throughout the farm. These improvements reflect decades of investment aimed at optimizing production and operational efficiency.
Water security is a cornerstone of the enterprise, with a valuable 696 megalitre irrigation licence and a comprehensive mains water system servicing the property. Approximately half the farm is under fixed sprinkler irrigation, with the remainder serviced by hard-line irrigation systems. Positioned at the junction of Eden and Ironpot Creeks and supported by flows from Toonumbar Dam, the property benefits from some of the most reliable irrigation water in the Northern Rivers.
During challenging times such as the 2019 drought, the farm maintained continuous hay production, supplying quality fodder throughout the Northern Rivers and into the Tablelands. This capability has allowed the operation to sustain and expand while many others contracted.
The holding is offered across two titles and includes two residences. The main homestead is a comfortable, character-filled country home with sweeping views over the productive landscape. Additionally, there is a near-new two-bedroom cottage, ideal for extended family, staff accommodation, or supplementary income.
There is also potential to acquire an adjoining 100 acres on the western boundary, presenting an exciting opportunity to expand this already substantial and highly productive agricultural enterprise.
