‘Vater Family Aggregation’ hits South Australian market

Ray White Rural South Australia directors Daniel and Geoff Schell are marketing the ‘Vater Family Aggregation’, which is set to go under the hammer on 15 October at 2pm.

Mr Schell said while the properties are not contiguous, the opportunity to acquire four established farming holdings provides genuine flexibility for purchasers whether they are looking to expand an existing operation or acquire additional scale within a proven agricultural region.

Held by the Vater family and successfully operated under long-term leasing arrangements with local farming families over the past decade, the aggregation comprises productive and versatile farming land suited to broadacre cropping and livestock enterprises.

The Saddleworth and Manoora districts are widely recognised for their reliability across cereals, oilseeds, legumes, pulses, hay production, prime lamb and wool production, with long-term average annual rainfall estimated at approximately 450–500mm*.

At the centre of the offering is Greenhills (pictured above), extending to 564.36 hectares and comprising 396* hectares of highly productive arable farming land maintained under a continuous cropping program, together with 160* hectares of excellent grazing country.

Included within the grazing area is 40* hectares of arable land currently utilised for pasture production.

Greenhills is complemented by an attractive stone homestead occupying an elevated setting, together with extensive operational infrastructure including implement and hay sheds, a two-stand shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards and established water infrastructure.

“Greenhills provides an appealing combination of scale, productive arable land and grazing country, together with the infrastructure to support both cropping and livestock enterprises,” Mr Schell said.
