"Baroona" is a Dubbo district property that carries as strong reputation of having enviable country, large river frontage, good homestead and quality working improvements. The four centre pivot irrigators allow for a variety of income options on a property that is located close to a major centre and with highway frontage. The country runs from heavy alluvial Macquarie River country to fertile red loams that are practically all arable. The river country of approximately 400 acres provides the opportunity to grow cereal and fodder crops as well as irrigated lucerne for hay production. Pastures are mainly clover, ryegrass and phalaris with the ability to introduce lucerne into the country that is presently under crop. An extremely well watered property with supply from 4 dams, along with a 6 km frontage to the Macquarie River.
A stock and domestic bore supplies a 31,780 litre tank that in turn supplies troughs in all paddocks. "Baroona" has been cropped in recent years with minimal livestock running on the property.
The nature of the property allows for breeding and finishing livestock along with growing irrigated crops and dryland crops. Past history has seen livestock trading, stud sheep and cropping, all of which have been testament to the quality and diverse nature of the property. An opportunity exists at "Baroona" to create a lucerne and cereal hay trading business, especially due to the excellent storage facilities.
