One of NSW's finest mixed farming enterprises enters the market - Elambone
Spanning 658.49 magnificent hectares in a reliable rainfall cropping and grazing district, Elambone is a property you won’t want to miss out on.
This prized mixed-farming property is located in the Central West region of New South Wales, in close proximity to Greenthorpe and Grenfell as well as the regional centres of Cowra and Young. It has just entered the market and is for sale by Expression of Interest by LAWD.
Elambone is a dual-purpose farm that is renowned for its prime lamb production and its proven cultivation history of dryland winter crops. Production is guaranteed by the property's 623 mL of annual rainfall and its quality arable soils: in the last seven years, it has generated an incredible average crop production of 4.2 tonnes of wheat per hectare and 2.1 tonnes of canola per hectare, including under sown wheat and grazing crops. This high yield of winter crops was enhanced by a comprehensive agronomic plan and targeted management that has been carefully implemented over recent years.

Soil testing has proven a history of lime and biosolid application, another great strength of Elambone. The productive capacity of the soils is also improved by the rotational cropping strategy, which alternates the dryland crops with lucerne-based pastures to support sheep grazing for lamb production.

Moreover, the reliable annual rainfall mentioned above ensures long-term stability for the cultivation of both crops and pastures. Access to water is also provided by other means - the bore, dams, and creek scattered across the vast property all provide good back-up sources in case of a dry spell. The bore produces 3,600 litres an hour and pumps to the tanks on top of the hill, relocating the water to troughs, sheds, and the garden.
Another excellent feature is the property’s excellent infrastructure, both indoors and outdoors. Elambone is fully fenced, and the land is divided into 14 main paddocks. It also boasts a machinery shed – which has space for a workshop – and a utility shed. Two hay sheds and sheep yards are also found on the property.
Recent structural improvements at Elambone involve investments in grain storage. Currently, the property boasts a 1,500-tonne grain shed, two 600-tonne grail silos with aeration and hydraulic sweep outload, a 60-tonne elevated silo, and four 80-tonne flat bottom silos. Three other 50-tonne cone bottom silos are used for fertilizer storage.

In terms of residence, the property contains a federation-style home that is in excellent condition. The gorgeous, red-bricked house consists of two spacious floors, providing ample space for a comfortable lifestyle. With three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a balcony on the upper floor overlooking the established garden, this residence is perfect to come home to after a long day running the farm.
