This moderately sized farm is located in the southwestern part of Victoria, right
in the heart of the “Evening Country”.
The Portland region has an average annual rainfall slightly higher than 800
millimeters and is renowned for being able to feed livestock with its lush
pastures.
Thirty-five kilometers northeast of the coastal town lies the farmland of
Homerton, covering an area of 175.5 hectares (434 acres).
The property is situated on Hodges Road, 18 kilometers due east of Heywood.
The recommended selling price for this prime pasture is AUD 1.65 million,
equivalent to more than AUD 3,800 per acre.
There are no houses on the block, but all the necessary farm infrastructure has
been completed and can accommodate livestock directly.
Agents from Portland A1 Real Estate said that this well-laid-out property
“offers the space, facilities and natural resources to achieve excellent results”.
This marketing campaign is mainly targeted at farmers who want to expand
their existing operations or invest in high-quality rural properties.
The property is subdivided into nine main paddocks, with a 50/50 ratio of
sheltered areas to grazing areas.
The sheltered areas provide a warm, dry and windproof area during the
months with more rainfall throughout the year.
The agents rated the fencing as “excellent” to ensure safe and efficient stock
management.
The well-maintained laneways and strategic shelterbelts provide convenient
access for livestock and additional protection.
The carrying capacity of the farmland in the southwestern region is bound to
attract interest.
The infrastructure includes a two-stand shearing shed with a covered yard, as
well as a small cattle yard for further livestock management.
Four windmills are strategically placed throughout the property to ensure a
secure water supply.
The farm has rich experience in fertilizing to promote pasture development.
There is an old, dilapidated house on the block.
