Comments:
Situated in the central west region of NSW, "The Wattles" has undergone significant structural improvements and soil enrichment programs in the last 4 years.
Zero and minimum till practises have been utilized along with lime application and the results have been amazing. There are further opportunities for new owners to establish more improved pastures.
Water is a distinctive feature with a large number of dams which have all been cleaned out over the previous 15 years plus an equipped bore located at the house and various rainwater tanks.
