IRRIGATION: The whole property is within the Lyndhurst/Winchmore Irrigation Scheme and although not border-dyked at present it is capable of being fully developed for irrigation by this method. REMARKS: This is without doubt one of the best irrigation development properties to come on the market for a long time. Possessing a superior soil type, we confidently recommend this block for dairying development. Under total border-dyke irrigation it should be capable of running well in excess of one dairy cow per acre. There are no buildings which • means the purchaser can erect exactly what is required and does not have to pay for a redundant woolshed, etc. As well as dairying the property lends itself to horticulture, cropping, stud farming, deer farming, etc. This is absolutely a blue chip investment.

AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: This is an ideal development property, previous to being leased for the last three years the property carried approx. 2000 ewe equivalents with some crop.
