Positioned beside the acclaimed Bay of Fires Vineyard, 'Laroona presents an exceptional lifestyle holding with a proven agricultural pedigree.
Historically operated as a diverse and highly productive cropping and livestock enterprise, the farm has delivered potatoes, poppies and grain, supported by a long-term soil improvement strategy, consistent fertiliser applications, and significant early lime programs to optimise pH. Extensive pasture renovation has remained a central focus throughout its stewardship.
Irrigation is efficiently supplied from the main dam via 100 mm underground mains, supporting cropping, fodder production and offering exciting potential for future viticulture expansion. Subsoil drainage has been installed across approximately 10 hectares of key production areas. A gravel resource near the dam provides additional material for ongoing internal road development. Additionally, an application for water allocation in the Tamar Irrigation Scheme has been submitted by the current owner.
The land offers a superb balance of fertile alluvial river flats and high-performing grazing paddocks, enhanced by the construction and gravelling of all-weather farm lanes for reliable access. Stock management is excellent, with a wallaby-proof boundary fence (excluding the river frontage), as well as rebuilt and realigned internal fencing. Infrastructure upgrades including cattle yards and purpose-built sheep yards with an undercover footbath.
Environmental care has been a priority, with willow removal along Pipers River to restore natural flow and habitat, weed-management programs undertaken in collaboration with NRM North and Landcare, and native bush areas fenced to protect and regenerate.
The main residence offers a flexible floorplan with 4-5 bedrooms, an updated kitchen and a generous open-plan living area warmed by the ambience of a wood heater-the perfect blend of comfort, practicality and rural charm.
