Rare Prime Mixed Farm For Sale SA

Prime Mixed Farm For Sale SA

“St Aubins” presents a rare opportunity to secure a highly productive mixed farming operation with a stunning six-bedroom homestead in the tightly held Frances area in South Australia.

Offered to the public market for just the second time in its long history, the 1,313-acre property - previously a 13,000-acre sheep and cropping powerhouse – has a history of turning out quality livestock and crops.

“St Aubins” boasts a stunning six-bedroom homestead set within low maintenance established grounds

With reliable rainfall and heavy grading to lighter loam soils over clay – plus the additional benefit of pivot irrigation, securing this asset should be a priority to anyone looking to expand their agricultural holdings.

Approximately 300 acres has been cropped over the past two years to beans and wheat, with clover also being harvested and baled. There is good scope to increase this area considerably, if desired.

The balance of the property is currently utilised for running merino and cross bred ewes, with additional lambs brought in and finished off.

Pastures consist of rye grass and clover and the property has a good fertiliser history of 125kg/ha being applied, with the pivot and crops having additional dressings. The property is being offered with a good body of feed.

The 32ha Zimmatic pivot, powered by a John Deere diesel engine, allows for further intense practices. The 282.66ML water licence offers peace of mind and possible expansion of irrigation.

The property is watered by a bore equipped with a submersible pump near the improvements. This fills a newly replaced poly tank and reticulates to the whole property through 38mm poly line.
