Shiloh Farms, 127 Green Road Neridup WA 6450

AWN is proud to present “Shiloh Farms”, an outstanding large scale mixed farming opportunity, in Esperance's 450 to 500 millimetre rainfall zone.
Located between 30 and 35 kilometres north east of the Esperance port, in the highly sought-after Neridup farming region of Esperance. Shiloh Farms provides the opportunity to acquire a stand-alone mixed farming operation that currently sustains 3000 Ha of cropping and 1400 head of trade cattle.
“Shiloh Farms” was originally purchased by the Cox family in 1992 as a backgrounding property for their dairy based in Busselton. They have acquired adjoining properties and developed a profitable enterprise mix of crop grazing cereals and backgrounding of trade and dairy cattle. This system provides a very useful supply of feed during the autumn feed gap and enables high stocking rates during the spring flush.
Shiloh is well-watered from four bores and three equipped dams, with 2" poly for reticulation of up to 3000 trade cattle from top to bottom of the property.
This property is considered drought-proof and is well supported by extensive infrastructure for sheep and cattle, as well as a full suite of sheds and silos.
Its paddocks are large and easy working, with sandy duplex soils.
Soils are typically 30 to 50 centimetres of sand over gravel/clay, with some areas of deeper sands planted to 240 Ha of tagasaste and perennial grasses for cattle fodder.
Biodiversity has been maintained with about 5 per cent of the land set aside with plantations, tree lines and fenced remnant native vegetation and waterways.
The 4 bedroom 2 bathroom main homestead is well appointed and an easy 35km from Esperance. An additional 3 bedroom 1 bathroom cottage and a modern four-person workers quarters suit a core permanent labour supply, with casuals easily housed in nearby Esperance.
Shiloh Farms would suit a larger farming operator, who wants the flexibility of grain or livestock production all within close proximity of the thriving port and town of Esperance. Esperance is the major service centre for the South East of Western Australia providing diverse employment, educational and cultural opportunities for staff and families, as well a being home to some truly iconic beaches such as Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park.
