Rarely does an opportunity such as 'Wollombi' present itself on the market, it has all the hallmarks of a property worthy of the blue-ribbon title. Perched where the Little River meets the Macquarie the 'Wollombi' homestead overlooks the scenic 1.9km of river frontage, grass slopes and river red gums that stand tall along the river's edge. There are various locations where you can get down to the river's edge for boating and camping, also ideal for kayaking and fishing. With prime location comes the rich alluvial soils to match, lending itself to outstanding production year on year.
This prime production and lifestyle location has been held in the family for 22 years, producing dairy, crops and cattle. A typical year would see 300 head of 280-300kg weaners purchased in February/March. These cattle would be sold late year as either feeders or fats, pending the hay and cropping season.
25 kilometres South of Dubbo, the region is renowned for its productivity. Upon viewing the property buyers will be encouraged by the ample level of existing infrastructure and the thoughtful use of laneways and paddocks. The current operation is that of mixed farming with a focus on cattle and cropping, having the potential for irrigation.
Those in the market for a turn-key property with secure water on the river then an inspection is a must.
