This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a large-scale, highly productive broadacre cropping enterprise in the tightly held Telangatuk East district. "Naranghi" comprises of adjoining holdings (Home Block 372ha, Robbies Block 415ha)** totalling approximately 787ha (1,944 acres), located 57km south-west of Horsham.
Proven Cropping Performance
This is a genuine turn-key cropping operation. The property has demonstrated reliable grain production in a 525mm average annual rainfall zone. Resilience is achieved by contour drainage, zero tillage, stubble retention, and precision agriculture practices.
The farming system uses controlled traffic farming (CTF), 2cm RTK guidance, soil mapping, and variable rate applications in a stock-free continuous cropping enterprise. The property has supported rotations including canola, wheat, and beans, with cereal straw bale production after harvest. Oppotunistic summer cropping has included corn, sorghum, safflower, and mungbeans.
Natural Assets
The naturally undulating country features creek drainage and established shelterbelts and fenced riparian zones. Soils range from deep sandy loams through clay loams to heavy clays, with topsoil depths reaching approximately 1m in places. Topsoils are slightly acidic over alkaline subsoils. Lime and gypsum have been consistently applied using variable rate technology according to soil testing, while weather station and soil probe data indicate active crop rooting to approximately 1m.
Two Complementary Holdings
Held on two titles of broadly similar scale, the Home Block contains the majority of the improvements and residences, while Robbies Block provides permanent underground water. Both holdings feature laneway systems, gravelled boom spray fill sites, external fencing and gateways, with contour drainage supporting efficient water management.
Extensive Infrastructure
The Home Block includes a 21m x 36m machinery shed with sliding doors at both ends, fully enclosed 12m x 18m workshop with excellent lighting and a mezzanine and two 9m x 15m hay sheds enclosed on three sides. Grain and fertiliser storage comprises six 120-tonne silos, three 55-tonne silos and two fertiliser silos, supported by all-weather truck turning space. Robbies Block includes a large implement shed, three-stand electric woolshed, internal all-weather harvest road, contour drainage and gravelled spray fill facilities.
Reliable Water
The Home Block has two dams with combined storage of approximately 6ML, fed by drainage and connected to bores and a pumping system on Robbies Block.
Both are equipped with electric submersible pumps powered by a 10kVA diesel generator, housed with a 400-litre diesel tank. A third bore is used as a boom spray fill site and includes a 5,000-gallon tank, mains power, and gravelled machinery turning space.
Quality Accommodation
The Home Block features two well-maintained residences set amongst established gardens with watering systems. The homestead offers three bedrooms with built-in robes, two bathrooms, office, large family room, modern open-plan kitchen and casual dining, separate formal living area, ducted evaporative cooling and two wood heaters.
The renovated original cottage includes an updated bathroom and laundry, polished Baltic pine flooring, expansive verandas, four-car garage with storage and heated in-ground swimming pool. The K-12 school bus to Balmoral is 5km away.
Flexible Future Potential
Existing infrastructure provides scope for livestock to be reintroduced as the property historically operated as a mixed farming enterprise before transitioning to continuous cropping in the early 2000s.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial, well-improved and highly productive Southern Wimmera farming enterprise that combines quality soils, secure water, extensive infrastructure and the flexibility of two separate title
