Set on approximately 153 hectares (378 acres) adjoining the Gippsland Lakes, this irrigated horticultural property offers a fantastic opportunity to invest in a versatile tract of land. Zoned Farming 1, the property includes 45 acres with Australian Organic Certification and a strong history of producing high quality vegetables such as Chinese Cabbage, Snow Peas, Baby Broccoli, Cos and Iceberg Lettuce, Spinach, Rocket, Asian Greens and Kale. In the Spring of 2023, 20 acres of UC157F1 asparagus were planted, adding further value and future income potential. The coastal climate and regular summer easterly breezes provide ideal growing conditions for year round production. Water security is a key highlight, with a 110 ML ground water licence, a new 300mm x 80 metre bore with 24 metre screen (producing approx. 20 L/sec via centrifugal pump, upgradeable to 50 L/sec with a submersible pump). A well established micro filtered irrigation system features 150mm PVC mainlines, sprinklers and micro filtered drip lines across 100 acres ensuring an efficient and reliable water supply. Improvements include a 6m x 6m machinery shed. The property also supports livestock grazing and boasts some of the best wetland frontage on the Gippsland Lakes, perfect for fishing, hunting, or enjoying nature. An existing organic produce customer base offers ongoing business opportunities. This is a rare and versatile offering in a tightly held region, ready for continued production or expansion under new ownership.
