1181 Elderslie Road

Situated just minutes from Brighton and a short trip from the State's capital, this 39 hectare property in the hamlet of Broadmarsh is the best of its kind. Comprised entirely of rich loam soils the property is divided into 8 paddocks and has frontage to both Broadmarsh Road and Storeys Road. The far surrounding hills of Mount Dromedary and Tanina Bluff create a magnificent natural amphitheatre where this property sits centre stage in peaceful and sheltered setting. A trout filled dam covering 1.4 hectares sits at the top end of the farm supplying irrigation water to the entire property via underground mains and hydrants. This dam is filled with water from a 43 megalitre water right from Stoneyhurst Creek. This creek then forms part of the NW boundary of this magnificent property. Additional water is sourced from a reliable bore producing approximately 7,700 litres per hour. 14.5 hectares of the property is planted to lucerne for fodder production. It also produces grass hay and has grown onions, cabbages and other small seed crops. The depth and quality of the soil in combination with the irrigation water create a farming platform that would be hard to replicate anywhere. To rest and recuperate or just to seek some solitude there is a single room fishing shack that sits over the water of the dam. The peaceful views over this body of water and the rest of the property below are spectacular. The farm is zoned "significant agriculture" which means a dwelling can be built (STCA) if it is needed for the operations of the farming enterprise run on the property. Holdings of this quality and location are rare. As a farming venture or a rural property close to town to enjoy the solitude and recreational aspects it has to offer, this small farm is a must have.
