'Spring Grove' 298 Yarrawalla West Road, Yarrawalla VIC 3575

Spring Grove Aggregation is being offered to the market for the first time in over 140 years, following five generations of ownership by the Smith family. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale, highly productive farming enterprise in Central Victoria.

Comprising approximately 1,618.4 hectares (3,999 acres), the aggregation features reliable cropping and grazing country directly off the Loddon Valley Highway, around 80km north of Bendigo. The land is highly suited to consistent winter cropping and fodder production, with current rotations including canola, wheat, barley, oats and vetch.

With a long-term fertiliser program and agronomic management, the aggregation maintains strong soil health and productivity. Lucerne forms an integral part of the rotation, supporting ongoing fertility and feed production. Indicative yield performance includes more than three tonnes per hectare for dryland grain and two tonnes per hectare for dryland canola, while irrigated areas have achieved approximately six tonnes per hectare for grain and three tonnes per hectare for canola.

The property has historically supported a successful livestock enterprise running approximately 2,000 ewes and lambs, with numbers increased under current management. The Smith family are well regarded throughout the district for their expertise in both livestock and grain production. Stock water is secured through an extensive network of catchment dams, concrete troughs and tanks feeding a modern, well-maintained piped system across the aggregation. The district's average annual rainfall is approximately 375mm.

Further complementing the enterprise is approximately 778 hectares under laser irrigation. The aggregation is offered as a whole or in four non-contingent holdings, providing flexibility for purchasers seeking scale or individual farm components.
