Overview

Prime block of land for farming or lifestyle.

Well located 40 hectare (100 acre) property for sale in the highly regarded Mount Barker farming region. Set in gently undulating countryside, this clean open block of land lies between Crockerup and Riches Road, with double gate access from both roads. It features strong Mount Barker soil types, predominantly gravelly and sandy loam. With a solid fertilizer history, the land is highly productive. In recent years it has been limed at 2T/Ha (2017, 2022) and fertilised annually with pasture fertiliser at 160Kg/Ha. The block is well watered, with over 600mm of reliable annual rainfall. It has been primarily used for grazing over the past few years, running merino sheep for wool and prime lamb production. The property retains an excellent set of sheep yards. Oats, barley and canola crops have all been grown successfully in the past. This year it is currently back in a canola rotation. Its elevated location offers numerous sites amidst a parkland setting of mature jarrah and redgum trees to build a dream home. It offers panoramic sunrises and sunsets, stunning views across sweeping farmland and bushland vistas and the dramatic beauty of the Stirling Ranges to the north. The town of Mount Barker, only 5km away, is a thriving community at the centre of the beautiful Great Southern wine region. It features two hotels, a number of great coffee shops and eateries, a regional hospital, and local medical and dental services. The highly regarded K-12 Mount Barker Community College is only minutes away. The major regional and tourist centres of Albany and Denmark, on the rugged and beautiful south coast, are less than 60km away. The property offers the buyer a range of options: Build your dream home and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a rural property set in the beautiful Mount Barker region. Create a lifestyle farm of your own, with space for animals, fruit trees, gardens and recreational pursuits. Continue with commercial farming operations. Lease the land for cropping or grazing to neighbouring farmers. An adjoining 80 hectare farming property is also offered for sale. Formerly part of the same farm, this property includes the beautifully restored original farmhouse and extensive sheds and facilities.
