Spilsbury's is a very well located grazing property with effective irrigation infrastructure right on Wellington's edge. Located some 8 km south west of Wellington it has 2 km frontage to the crystal clear Bell River. It is actually located directly across the river from the Wellington Golf Club.
In addition to the 3 irrigation pump sites, the Bell River offers attractive recreational spots the family will enjoy. Picture perfect picnic spots not to mention fishing and swimming.
Included in the sale of the property is a 51 megalitre Bell River Irrigation Licence over 3 years. In addition to the river licence, the property has an equipped irrigation bore. The submersible pump is run by a diesel motor and provides water to 10 hydrants via 6" mains. The owner has acquired temporary transfer water to utilise this infrastructure.
The bore also pumps to an elevated 30,000 gallon tank that reticulates back to 3 stock troughs. There is also a dam on the property with excellent catch.
The country ranges from 1st class Bell River flats to gently undulating open, lightly timbered grazing country to areas of some 25 ha of timbered hill. The soils include heavy black Bell River alluvial ranging to red loams over limestone, with areas of surface stone containing fossils. There is an older established Lucerne stand on some 10 ha.
Working infrastructure included a substantial set of steel cattle yards with CIA crush and ramp. There is a 2 sided all steel machinery/hay shed of 16 x 9 metres.
A 5000 gallon poly rainwater tank is attached to the shed.
The owner currently runs 60 cows and calves in addition to fodder production. Whilst also running steers and trade lambs.
Spilsbury's is a well located visually appealing property which lends itself to fodder production from the irrigated flats in addition to a grazing operation.
We recommend your private inspection.
