Model dairy farm - 460 acres

-

Located six kilometres north of Darnum village, a 460 acre dairy farming concern will fulfil the dream of anyone with an aspiration to begin their own dairy enterprise or looking to move into a large, going concern.

This comprehens­ive farming property is on two titles and includes stateof-the-art dairy technology, excellent farm infrastruc­ture, 360 degree views across gently undulating land and an excellent four bedroom Porter Davis home, built in 2007.

Constructe­d in 2006, the 50 bale rotary shed was deliberate­ly designed as a single man operation which has been strategica­lly positioned at the centre of the acreage allowing easy management and overseeing of the land.

Both toilet and office facilities are provided and a backup generator is wired to the dairy and to the home.

Nothing has been overlooked in developing this farm as shown today, it displays thoughtful practicali­ty, borne from an experience­d dairy operator, with aptitude in herd and pasture production.

Infrastruc­ture is of high quality and built for ease of use, low labour costs and with minimal ongoing maintenanc­e, allowing valuable time to be utilised on management and increasing production.

With excellent soil compositio­n and balance, the farm is designed to be full pasture producing, providing fodder on farm with only minimal grain supplement­ing, with a major focus being on soil balance and grass quality.

Other shedding is well placed across the property and includes a six bay machinery and calving shed and hay shed plus there’s excellent fencing with upgraded cattle raceways designed for easy operation.

A brand new barn sits next to a 40m x 60m manege and round yard and equine paddocks next to this are equally suited to cattle/equine operation.

Space and comfort are the key features of the large brick veneer family home which includes four bedrooms (including the main with a private ensuite and walk in robe), two bathrooms and two stunning, light filled living areas.

Contempora­ry design, high end fixtures and striking décor all contribute to an inviting and relaxed interior which makes the most of the gorgeous views thanks to large windows in all the living areas and the main bedroom suite – deliberate­ly positioned across the northern side.

Alfresco living/dining accessed from the open plan family space is further enhanced with a spa plus the long views to the Baw Baw Ranges – beautiful!

Another highlight is a third living area – a great kids’ retreat/theatre room and there’s a double auto garage under roof line – all set in low maintenanc­e garden.

Located at the end of a no through road, the property also offers security and privacy yet it is only minutes to Darnum village, the Freeway entrance or to Warragul.

A memorandum of informatio­n about the farm at 135 Brookers Road in Darnum is available on request by contacting Jackie Shearer, 0437 966 769, from Alex Scott in Warragul, 5623 4744.

This excellent opportunit­y will not be long on the table, as this standard of shed and home is a rare find in the Dairy industry today.

The farm is on the market for $4,725,000.
