THIS property is a rare and unique property with so many possibilities. The vendor purchased this 57-acre market garden/grazing property in 2002 and set it up for the production of organic fruit, vegetables, free range hens and livestock. So for the last 11 years it has been certified as an organic farm. It has an excellent 34.4 megalitre irrigation licence from the Yallock Creek Drain and three phase power drives the pumping of water to a large dam. The sprinklers and a drip system cover an area of about five acres but the entire farm could be irrigated. It has very fertile peat and loam soil, slightly undulating land that’s well drained, five paddocks for livestock (horses, cattle and alpacas) and treed wind breaks. There is a comfortable three bedroom timber home, garage storage/packing shed, farm shop, cool room, greenhouse and sundry shedding.
This property is 15 minutes from Pakenham and five minutes from the new racing track at Tynong. Being within a special horticulture zoning allows for many tourism based ventures and is ideal for any livestock pursuit with markets turning towards the healthy organic foods. This farm has wonderful lifestyle opportunities.
