‘MANTON’ near Frances via Naracoorte in the south East of South Australia brings an exceptional and rare opportunity to secure high quality farming land, nestled at the end of Walkingtons Hills Road, Frances.

Purchased in the fifties by Joe Manning of Orroroo and Dean Walkington of Jamestown – named ‘MANTON’, Walkington later bought out Manning and farmed the property with his son, until Dean’s death in 2011.

‘MANTON’, is 841 HA / 2078 acres (approximately) on one title. With the land ranging from gentle undulating country with sandy loams plus large highly productive clay flats and a variety of gums, there are endless opportunities for the perfect house site with panoramic views.
Currently operating as a productive stock property, with a 600 head 3 stand Shearing Shed that has recently renovated yards with effective three way draft, a lengthy classing race and lamb marking all-weather protection.
‘MANTON’ holds a good fertiliser history, benefits from the 550mm annual rainfall average and all new fencing and swing gates. During the past 6 decades with the one owner, there have been no insecticides or herbicides used.
‘MANTON’ has 18, seven-line cyclone fenced paddocks and 4 holding yards and also benefits from an excellent water source via 3 solar bores, 6 dams, and natural waterhole The Crinogle’ (adjoining the neighbour on southern boundary) which has only been dry twice during ‘MANTON’ history.

The pastures are improved with clover and phalaris and the property lends itself to further cropping potential. Purchasers can be confident in ‘MANTON’.

To be Auctioned – 2pm Thursday 31st October 2019 at the Naracoorte Town Hall
