Fully Developed Irrigation Enterprise on 358 Acres - Prime Central Goulburn Valley Holding
This exceptional rural mixed farming property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly productive and fully developed irrigation enterprise located in the prime agricultural region of the Goulburn Valley. Spanning approximately 358 acres (145 hectares) across two separate titles, the property offers remarkable versatility suitable for a variety of agricultural pursuits including horticulture, lucerne production, fodder cropping, grazing enterprises, and other future farming operations.
Strategically positioned with sealed road frontage, the property enjoys a central location between the towns of Tatura, Kyabram, and Shepparton, and is conveniently situated just two hours north of Melbourne. This advantageous location combines scale, productivity, and accessibility within a sought-after farming district, making it an ideal investment for agricultural professionals and investors alike.
The residential component comprises a comfortable four-bedroom, two-bathroom home constructed from weatherboard, fibro, and mock brick materials. This residence provides practical and functional accommodation suitable for owners, farm managers, or staff, ensuring convenience and comfort on-site.
A key highlight of this property is its extensive and modern irrigation infrastructure. The farm is equipped with a permanent irrigation system featuring underground main and sub-main pipelines, complemented by a substantial 170 megalitre above-ground storage dam. Additionally, there are two Goulburn-Murray Water outlets connected to a backbone channel with delivery shares, facilitating efficient water delivery and management. The storage dam is designed to hold both channel water and drainage water, ensuring reliable water availability throughout the year.
Irrigation operations are powered by three linked 81.3 kW three-phase electric pumps, which are controlled via a sophisticated computerized system that can be remotely managed through a smartphone application. This advanced technology enhances operational efficiency and ease of management. Furthermore, the property includes a fertigation system located within the pump shed, allowing for the direct injection of liquid fertilizer into the irrigation network. This system represents the latest advancements in irrigation technology, promoting exceptional efficiency and crop nutrition management.
The property benefits from excellent drainage infrastructure, with a Goulburn-Murray Water drain traversing the farm to capture excess runoff not retained in the sump or storage dam. The soil profile includes premium Shepparton Fine Sandy Loam and Lemnos Loam, both renowned for their versatility and high production capabilities within the district. The land has been laser graded to optimize irrigation efficiency and drainage performance, further enhancing the property's agricultural potential.
Infrastructure improvements include substantial shedding facilities, comprising a 273 square meter timber hay shed, a 340 square meter steel hay shed, and a machinery shed/workshop. These structures provide ample storage and operational space to support farming activities and equipment maintenance.
Boundary fencing consists of post and wire construction, while internal fencing has been removed to facilitate efficient broadacre cropping operations and maximize productivity. This layout supports large-scale farming practices and operational flexibility.
Properties of this calibre are seldom available on the market, offering a combination of scale, advanced irrigation infrastructure, quality soils, extensive improvements, and a strategic central location. This turnkey agricultural enterprise is ready to support a wide range of intensive farming operations and presents significant long-term investment appeal for those seeking a productive and well-equipped rural property in the Goulburn Valley region.
