790 ha Farm in Riversdale

This large scale dairy farm is situated 18 km from Riversdale and enjoys 1 million CuM registered water rights, which is sufficient to irrigate 250 ha of cash crops or pastures throughout the year. The farm is currently milking 780 cows and the ultra-modern dairy and housing facilities are designed for 1000 cows. Currently the land is used to produce feed for the dairy with both winter and summer crops being produced very successfully.

The housing allows for the cows to be permanently housed, but at present the animals are housed at night and put to pasture during the day. Washing of the dairy and housing facility is done from 690 000 liter reservoirs fed by the farm''s dams and all the waste water is recycled for irrigation purposed and the pressed manure is dried and reused as bedding. The dairy has a 30 point swing-over system with automated feeders- all the latest performance testing and quality control technology. The milk tanks have a 36 000 liter holding capacity and are pre-cooled.

The comfortable main house has stunning views and there is sufficient staff housing and utility buildings. This is intensive farming at its best and with the high area rainfall of 750 mm, you are assured of water supply. Farming setups like this almost never come onto the market. This property has multiple portions and the owner is VAT registered.
