In a word; IMPECCABLE!
Improved to the highest standard, "Hobans" (part of the Staplecross group of farms) on the outskirts of Alexandra north-east of Melbourne, is one of the most impeccable pastoral holdings you'll inspect.
A combined holding of 452* acres split across two adjoining farms, the property features a balance of flat, gently undulating country to soft hills. Encompassing its own valley with a network of catchment dams and fenced off protected native zones that act as shelter belts, segments of the property provide spectacular views to the east across the Acheron Valley.
• 146 Hobans Road, zoned Rural Living at 146* acres.
• 176 Hobans Road, zoned Farming at 306* acres.
• Total land holding at 452* acres.
The farm and the current farm management plan is designed for sustainable grazing and supports 200* + breeders and calves, or 200* + steers to 650kg*.
FARM IMPROVEMENTS & INFRASTRUCTURE
The main entrance features an excellent post and rail fence, and all-weather formed treelined driveway to the farm's central work complex.
Well laid out, the central work complex includes a newly constructed 5 bay Colourbond machinery / hay shed and an enclosed workshop with concrete floor. Solar panels mounted on the shed roof provide power for the farm's Gallagher energiser and electric fence network.
A 22,500* litre Polymaster rainwater tanks, a diesel fuel tank for machinery and separate wash down bay on a concrete pad is all conveniently located within the same area, as is an excellent set of high-grade steel cattle yards with Norton crush, day yards, loading ramp and concrete walkways.
The central work complex has been well excavated and sits on a solid base of crushed rock and provides for an excellent hard stand area for farm machinery, plant and equipment and B-Double movement in and out of the farm.
A video surveillance security system has been installed and can be monitored from most handheld mobile phones.
A network of all-weather formed roads interconnects the farm and with cattle grates installed across the property, you can move quickly and efficiently from paddock to paddock.
Fences and gates across the property are in excellent order. Farm fencing is entirely electrified, and Weston exclusion perimeter fencing has been erected along most boundary fences.
PASTURE IMPROVEMENT
The property comprises a balance of gently undulating pasture to lower lying fertile country along the southern Breakaway Creek boundary. Rejuvenated and clean pasture throughout, 50* to 55* acres of pasture is regularly sown to rye and clover mix. An abundance of native tree cover provides excellent stock shelter.
WATER SECURITY
With consistent annual rainfall in the vicinity of 750mm*, clever use of a natural valley captures rainfall and run off into a network of dams. A solar pump and water from dams is gravity fed to concrete stock troughs across the property. In total the property features 15 dams.
