With the Commodity prices on the increase and winter looming, what a great time to get in and buy some country ideally suited for cattle production. Located 10 minutes drive West of Binnaway, 111km North East of Dubbo , and a half hour run to Coonabarabran, all your minor and major suppliers and operators are only minutes away. If you have the rural foresight to improve an already well functioning property, you could improve the carrying capacity substantially.
Welcome to Hiddendale, a 1037.3 ha property which has been in the family for over 50 years. Approximately 90% of the country is arable , and has been sewn down to Consul Love Grass, Serradella, and Clovers providing one of the best covers of feed I have seen for some time.
An undulating property with soils ranging from predominately rich red loam, through to grey and lighter loam on the northern end of the property.
The fencing is in fair to good order, with some new fences just completed. Divided into 25 paddocks, mainly ringlock and barb, the boundary is predominately netting and wire. 25 dams are lightly peppered around the property, with the addition of 2 bores to keep all the cattle happy.
The improvements on Hiddendale include, a four bedroom home with open plan kitchen and dining, large lounge room with tile wood fire, and reverse cycle air conditioning, rain and bore water is connected to the house. A second three bedroom cottage with a fenced yard, and a single car garage. Other improvements include: 9m X 6m – 3 bay car shed, 18m X 9m steel machinery shed with 3 bays and rainwater catchment, 2 stand timber woolshed, steel sheep and cattle yards, 2 silo’s and an older style timber grain shed.
Traditionally Hiddendale has been a mixed farming enterprise. Recently due to the owners health the property has only been running 200 Cows and their progeny, with some crop for extra winter feed. This is very conservative number when you see the grass cover.
If you are seriously shopping for a genuine grazing property, with self seeding and replacing grasses, and the opportunity to increase the carrying capacity at your own leisure, at a price which is affordable then Hiddendale is for you.
