The property also features approximately 34 livestock dams, supplemented by multiple solar pumping systems, providing a high degree of water security and operational flexibility across seasonal conditions.
Similarly, ‘Fairhaven’ is supported by a reliable and well-distributed stock water network incorporating bore water, dams, trough infrastructure and natural watercourses.
