AREA / COUNTRY /PRODUCTIVITY
The current owners have done an amazing job in transforming the 2292 acres / 927.5 hectares into a grazing property that anyone would be proud to own.
The entire property was fallow for 4 years with 900 acres fallow for 8 years. During this time extensive weed management programs were put in place & actioned (all details are available). This has dramatically increased the productivity of the property. The Bigga district is renowned for its fine wool, fat lambs & cattle enterprises.
Soils are predominantly granite based with the topography running from the undulating valley to hill country with some granite outcrops.
WATER
Water is not a concern as all paddocks are watered via a network of 9 predominantly spring fed dams & a permanent spring fed creek (Reedy Creek) running directly through the property.
Approx. 31inch rainfall. There is also an operational well.
FENCING
Another major improvement the owners have made to the property is the fencing. The boundary fencing is excellent condition, internal fencing is in good condition with valley fencing electrified.
IMPROVEMENTS
New large machinery shed with side skillion.
5 bay shed enclosed on three sides with stables.
Steel cattle yards with loading race.
Double garage.
Its not often you get to own a piece of history so call today for an inspection & experience the magic that Woolbrook has to offer, but you had better arrive with your bags packed as this is one property that you just wont want to leave.
