Blue Ribbon Cropping, Grazing Property For Sale NSW

First-Class Rural Property For Sale In Highly Regarded District Of NSW

Located 3km south of Harden in the Hill Tops region of southern NSW, ‘Kanoona’ presents a unique opportunity to acquire a well-improved, 1,318-acre (533.37-hectare) rural property currently being run as a mixed farming operation with an emphasis on cropping.

With approximately 80 per cent arability, the property is suited to broad-acre cropping. The current owners have based their farming operations around a canola/wheat/legume rotation.

Over the past decade, ‘Kanoona’ has been farmed using zero-till technology with most of the stubble retained. This, along with a liberal use of lime and gypsum, means the soils are as good as any in the district.

What’s more, the property is equally suited to grazing and in the past has been run as a fat lamb and wool enterprise.

The holding boasts impressive livestock infrastructure, including: a modern shearing shed with ability to fit 350 adult sheep; a set of steel sheep yards adjoining the wool shed with approximately 1,500-head capacity; a second set of sheep yards with working capacity of around 400 head; and a shaded sheep feedlot with six pens, each with a 200-head capacity.

Significant infrastructure improvements undertaken on the property have allowed the current owners to value add both grain and livestock produce.

Grain infrastructure includes: thirteen 60-tonne Normoyle silos; three 80-tonne Richard & Stevens steel silos; one 400-tonne bulk shed and one 500-tonne bulk shed; two 100-tonne flat bottom concrete silos; and one 80-tonne silo.

‘Kanoona’ also features abundant shedding, including: an 18m x 12m grain shed with concrete floor; a 36m x 10m shed with concrete floor; a 18m x 12m shed; a 12m x 6m storage shed; and a steel-framed hay shed.

The property is well watered by a stock and domestic bore, natural catchment dams and a semi-permanent creek.

The solar-powered bore is 300m in depth, with the water vain at 294m. However, the water is stable at 25m below the surface and is best described as unaffected by the prevailing seasonal and environmental rainfall. The bore services two stock water tanks.

‘Kanoona’ also has the ability to store 85,000 litres of rainwater which supplies the homestead and shearing shed. The bore water can also be used domestically and is connected to the rain water tanks if needed.

A special feature of the property is the dam wall on the southern boundary built early in the last century to hold water for steam trains stopping at the Harden railway station.

Additionally, the property is self-sufficient with electricity being provided by a 10kW solar system on the woolshed roof and a 20kW Alphass battery storage system. The Origin Energy daily supply charge is negated by the solar surplus feed in tariff earned on most days.

Topping off the property’s long list of features is a circa 1918 four-bedroom homestead constructed from a combination of rendered brick, mud brick and pise.
