UPDATE: An exceptional opportunity to acquire prime agricultural land in the Wheatbelt region is unfolding as the Lydford and Lees Farms near Dowerin are officially offered for sale by Nutrien Harcourts WA. This urgent tender process is set to close on October 7, 2023, at 11 AM (AWST).
These farms boast a rare combination of rich soil types and sustainable farming practices, characterized by a rotation of one third canola, lupins, vetch, and pasture yearly. Prospective buyers will find detailed paddock records and soil tests available, highlighting an impressive average cereal yield of 2.75 tonnes per hectare over the last five years.
What makes this offering particularly compelling is the flexibility: buyers can choose to purchase the farms as a whole or split them into separate parcels. This adaptability meets the needs of various investors and farmers looking to enter or expand in the industry.
The properties have a strong history of effective fertilization, with nearly 3500 tonnes of lime applied in the past decade, ensuring the land remains productive. Each farm is equipped with essential infrastructure, including a reliable solar pump-equipped bore and dams for water supply, enhancing the land’s overall appeal.
Located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Dowerin and 33 kilometers north of Cunderdin, the farms are easily accessible from the sealed Minnivale Road, with connections to Williams and Lee Roads. This location is not only convenient but also a prime area for agriculture due to its reliable rainfall.
The farms also feature a range of modest improvements, including a four-stand shearing shed, Cyclone steel yards, and liquid fertilizer storage tanks, making them ready for immediate use. The inclusion of various general-purpose sheds and a three-bedroom transportable cottage adds further value, appealing to families and workers alike.
With both farms fenced to a high standard and considered “stockproof,” they are designed for ease of movement for machinery and livestock. This operational efficiency is critical for potential owners looking to maximize productivity.
The tender process is designed to attract serious buyers who recognize the value of this well-managed agricultural land. The lessee is open to discussing crop management strategies, including potential “crop topping” of barley with the new owners, adding another layer of flexibility to the deal.
As the tender date approaches, interested parties are encouraged to act swiftly. The combination of quality land, robust management practices, and strategic location makes the Lydford and Lees Farms a standout opportunity in the Wheatbelt.
This is a developing story, and investors are advised to stay tuned for more updates as the October 7 deadline nears. Don’t miss the chance to secure your place in this highly sought-after agricultural market.
