"Imagine you had 33 beautifully grassed ovals. Imagine you lifted the turf and sold it all. Imagine you watered the bare soil and before long you had another 33 beautifully grassed ovals and imagine that every time you repeated this process, you made a high level of profit. Don't imagine: read on..."
Ray White Woodside and Ray White Business Sales SA/NT is privileged to offer for the first time, one of the best established and rewarding enterprises to come onto the agribusiness market in recent times. MVT is a significant, year-round, wholesale and retail supplier of high quality turf to major landscaping companies through Garden Grove Supplies, councils and sporting clubs, with 65 hectares of in-demand turf varieties in production.
Founded almost thirty years ago by the husband and wife team, this business has consistently delivered growing annual profits. The business and its well maintained assets create a rare opportunity for an agribusiness investor or operator to reap immediate rewards with confidence.
MVT is offered for sale for the very first time in prime condition after prudent land expansion and soil improvement, investment in key staff and water infrastructure, with meticulous choice of plant and equipment upgrades and maintenance programs in place. Having an orientation to the most market-appropriate turf varieties the business has continued to grow while still having the capacity for even more significant growth.
Water security, a location on rich, alluvial river soils and near-ideal climatic conditions gives the business a robustness that will sustain continued production and profit into the future.
Mechanisation and automation (notably of water movement) has reduced labour requirements to a minimum, with only five permanent staff. With an experienced production manager and qualified mechanic, the business is truly under management. Vendor assistance is also offered to ensure an effective handover.
Turf - a product that is harvested here five days a week all year and then regenerates in a cycle that can last years without replanting - has an assured future, especially here at Marne Valley Turf.
Whether you're an owner/operator wanting a profitable turnkey business or an investor seeking solid returns from a fully managed operation, Ray White Woodside and Ray White Business Sales SA/NT looks forward to introducing you to a bright green future.
