An appealing small farm with a functional full set of infrastructure offers a productive, affordable and versatile opportunity for purchasers searching for an independent farming enterprise, or for an existing operator to support an existing dairying or grazing business.
Erinbank, locally referred to as 'Harneys' is a generational family dairy farm with a tenure of more than 100 years. It is currently farmed under a lease in conjunction with a neighbouring dairy property and has been maintained to a standard of high performing milking cows and for dairy support (runoff, silage and hay production) for many years. The property has been planned and set up for efficient operation – a central laneway to all paddocks, serviced from a central bore with submersible pump, a set of steel cattleyards and a machinery/hay shedding.
The property features a 1940's brick home which is currently vacant. It is largely original, has excellent 'bones' and is ripe for a refurbish although functional 'as is'.

This is reliable late season country with a 30” (750mm) rainfall situated in a renown dairying location. Its size presents it as an affordable farming proposition for a range of buyers and offering great seasonal and rainfall security. A first farm owner may find this the perfect opportunity to operate as is and further develop over time.

The house is a simple and functional family home of 3 BR and 1 Bathroom of approx. 146 sqmt. It has a wood and electric heater and Split system air conditioner in the living area. The house and single detached garage are set in a half acre of garden area.

Working improvements include:
• Steel cattleyards with loading ramp suitable for beef/dairy cattle.
• Hayshed/Machinery Shed 9 x 13M
• Bore with submersible at old dairy site, bore at house with pumpjack, windmill on bore, 2 x Dams, Cattle troughs in all paddocks.
• Central dairy laneway and dual road frontages

Soil type are basalt based clay loam to clays with approx 80 % of the farm flats. Several paddocks toward the front of the farm are slightly higher undulating rises. Terrain is generally flat. Being predominantly flats of longer growing season, these areas remain vegetative well into summer.

Pastures have been oversown to modern varieties of annuals in the past 2 years with a previous base of perennial ryegrass. A dairy farm fertiliser regime has been maintained on this property for many years with pasture growth reflecting this.

Erinbank is offered for sale by Expression of Interest closing 24/11/23 unless sold prior. The farm is subject to a lease currently due to terminate on 15/7/24.
