The Grazing Block- Lot 3
 
Due to the need to downsize we are reluctantly selling our adjoining grazing property and machinery.  Lot 3 is 41 ha (101 acres).
 
It has good improved pastures of green panic, callide rhodes, kikuyu and blue grass and currently used to fatten steers but would also suit breeders or horses.  It has good boundary fences and is electric fenced into 8 paddocks with established permanent water points.  The property's watering needs are serviced by a good bore pumping 1000 gph. There is a fantastic house site, power to the property and all services past the gate.  Mobile phone reception and wireless internet coverage is also good.
 
 
We're open to negotiation, titles may be sold separately - talk to us about your needs.
