AUCTIONEERS’ NOTE: “Bramdean” was settled by the late Mr Robert T. Newton in 1933 and has been farmed by the family since then. It can be classed as an ideal sheep and cattle grazing and fattening unit, plus cropping and small seeds, with further potential for future development. Altitude ranges from 400 ft to 600 ft above sea level with an average rainfall of approximately 30-35 in. All hay requirements, approximately 5000 bales, are cut on the property and all surplus stock are fattened. We cannot stress too greatly the potential “Bramdean” offers buyers through further cattle development, topdressing and cash cropping. “Bramdean” will undoubtedly appeal to that discriminating buyer on the lookout for a larger type of versatile property situated in one of the most favoured areas of Canterbury.
