Comprising approx. 186 Hectares or 460 Acres, "Stones" is a picturesque grazing property located in the heart of Strathdownie, just off the Glenelg Highway, 43kms from Mount Gambier and 30 kms from Casterton.
The property is situated in a highly reliable district with average rainfall of approx. 750mm annually. Soils consist of rich brown loams with high organic carbon levels and perennial pasture base of ryegrass & clovers.
A renowned feature of the property is the abundance of high quality water which is accessed from a depth of less than 30 feet via 1 x equipped windmill with a new Varcoe head. The windmill feeds a re-lined 15,000 gallon concrete tank and new 5,000 gallon poly tank, reticulating to concrete stock troughs in each paddock.
A central drain system was established in the 1960s to aid with winter stocking and run off of surplus water over the winter months to maintain year-round grazing. Stocking rates has seen 800 ewe/lamb units and 75 cow/calf units consistently carried.
The property is fenced into 3 x paddocks with approx. 1.5kms of new fencing in recent years. Each paddock has its own dam which provides further water security for stock and forms a natural feature of the property that compliments the scattered redgums.
The holding consists of 2 lots on 1 title (approx. 130 Hectares and 56 Hectares each) with potential to apply for separate titles for each lot, subject to Victorian LTO approval.
Access is via bitumen road frontage to West Strathdownie Rd and via the graded gravel Yellow Swamp Lane on the Eastern boundary. With many access points, there is a great opportunity for further subdivision of paddocks and the addition of a central laneway system, to enable increased rotational grazing and stocking rates, if desired.
"Stones" represents a great chance to secure quality grazing land in a renowned location either as a standalone block or to add to an existing holding.
