Miller Whan & John Pty Ltd have the pleasure on instruction from the Higgins family to offer for sale “Patanga”.

Totalling Approx. 633 hectares or 1,565 acres, Patanga is offered to the market for the first time in 26 years. Located just 16km West of Lucindale, Patanga is a magnificent property that has been maintained and improved to a very high standard.

Patanga is positioned in the heart of South East SA, within close proximity to schooling, retail & rural trade services and livestock selling centres located at Naracoorte (45kms) and Mt Gambier (105kms).

The property is well suited to a range of farming pursuits whether that be livestock breeding/fattening, hay or crop production. An ongoing pasture improvement program has been in place over many years with the property having a great balance of warm country and heavier flats planted to a mix of permanent & annual pastures, lucerne and portions allocated annually to hay & grain crop rotations.

The fencing of Patanga is excellent with the majority of the property having new/replaced fence lines. A central all weather rubble lane way is a feature which makes stock movements a breeze.

Production wise, Patanga has carried on average 450 breeding cows, 150 Ewes and planted 120 hectares of hay/silage, grain & improved pasture. Supporting the production program, the property has been very well managed and maintained with ongoing applications of 100-120 kg/Ha single super spread over all arable areas of the property, 80-100kg/Ha 3 in 1 super potash on the Lucerne paddocks, DAP / Urea as needed over the cropping areas & 1T/Ha Lime applied in 2021 over the entire property.

Patanga has excellent infrastructure including a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom home with brand new kitchen, living & modern bathroom, high quality workshop, 2021 built hay shed, implement shed, 3 stand shearing shed with holding capacity of 350 head, newly built 600 head sheep yards & bugle design cattle yards with undercover working area, 200 head holding capacity in the working yards and a further 600 head holding yard capacity.

Water security is assured with artesian water supplying the entire farm via new Grundfos pump. Bore is pressure rated at approx. 30,000 litres/hour free flow. A back up pump supplies the house and is plumbed to feed the stock water line if ever required. The water system is also set up with Farmbot remote tank level monitoring.

Water is supplied via 2inch poly to header tanks and gravity fed via a mix of 1 ½ and 2inch poly to stock water, where concrete troughs are set up in each paddock.

The property also passes with a 260.2mL water taking licence, providing the opportunity to add further production security & diversity.

Opportunities to acquire a property like Patanga are rare to find, so if you are seeking diversity, reliability, low maintenance and an absolute “turnkey” rural holding, please contact the agent for an Information Memorandum or to arrange your private inspection.
