'Tarakee' Camperdown, South West Victoria
254.55ha* (629* acres) of Blue Chip dairying and grazing country.
Opportunity presents after two lifetimes of continuous family ownership to secure a early settled, premium parcel of reliable south west Victorian farmland. Grazing doesn't get much better than this - from the rich alluvial summer peat flats to the warm and naturally fertile volcanic rises, it is no wonder the early settlers selected this prime parcel of land fronting the renowned Lake Purrumbete all those years ago.
Boasting natural water springs, significant deep bore irrigation and the back up of stock and domestic water from freshwater Lake Purrumbete, this property is truly droughtproof. The original family farm of the current owners, descendants have cast their farming ability far and wide across the local district. Currently operating as a highly profitable dairy enterprise, the property lends to many styles of grazing and backgrounding for the astute investor.
