Loddon West Road Serpentine VIC 3517

This well-located, medium-scale cropping and grazing holding comprises approximately 314 hectares (775 acres), positioned within North Central Victoria's productive and tightly held Loddon district.

Ideally situated around 10 kilometres north-west of Serpentine and 40 kilometres north-west of Bendigo, the property offers direct and practical access via Loddon West Road, an all-weather gravel road forming the western boundary.

A standout feature is the property's extensive Loddon River frontage along the north-eastern boundary, complemented by the seasonal Hope Creek traversing the property east- west. Stock water is well provided via the river, creek, a stock dam and two stock troughs, with river pumping infrastructure in place including a Robertson 8-inch pump and 10-inch pipe fittings, ensuring reliable long-term water security. The property is also suitable for up to five pivot irrigators, should a purchaser wish to explore this option.

The country is generally level, with gentle depressions adjoining the river and creek corridors. Soils comprise a mix of strong black and grey loams with red loam pockets. Approximately 92% (289 hectares) of the holding is arable and currently operated under a cereal and canola program. A small section is capable of irrigation, although it has not been laser-levelled or utilised for an extended period.

The established cropping rotation has comprised canola in 2023 with an average yield of 2.5 tonnes per hectare, wheat in 2024 averaging 6 tonnes per hectare, and oaten hay in 2025, averaging 6 tonnes per hectare.

Supported by an excellent fertiliser history incorporating 80 kg/ha of MAP at planting and a comprehensive lime program completed in 2024.

The property is fenced into four main paddocks, with fencing in fair condition. Improvements are limited and include a raised storage shed and a 5,000-gallon water tank for spray purposes.

Additional features include:
2 megalitre high-reliability water right
Three-phase power available
Average annual rainfall of approximately 400 mm
