Overview

OVER 93 ACRES OF PRIME IRRIGATED MERBEIN LAND

Land of this scale, on elevated ground with top-class soil this close to the Merbein township, rarely comes to market. The holding covers 37.87ha (93.6 acres) across 4 titles, with frontage to First Street and Myall Lane and a strip through to the Calder Highway. It's in the well-regarded Merbein growing area, where the soil types suit a wide range of crops including citrus, almonds, vines, cherries and pomegranates. Established plantings include Sun Muscat, Crimson and Shiraz, with vacant land beyond that ready for redevelopment. The vineyard hasn't been worked for some time and is offered on that basis, so it suits a buyer with the equipment and appetite to bring it back, or one who'd rather redevelop from scratch. The property carries a combined AUL of 242.7 megalitres and delivery shares of 2.237ML per day. There are 2 pumps, 1 near the house and 1 at the Calder Highway end, delivering irrigation water on 3 shifts through under-vine sprays and drippers. The 4-bedroom residence sits on a rise well back from First Street, reached by a long driveway through the vines and set among established trees. It needs some work, and it's priced accordingly. For a grower with scale nearby, this is a chance to add over 93 acres in one line. Inspection is encouraged. This is a genuine sale under a court-authorised order, and the property must be sold.
