Purchased by the current family 70 years ago, “Longacres” is situated 20km east of Oatlands in the tightly held Andover area.
Consisting of predominately volcanic based soils, the property is a grazing operation in excellent heart. It is made up of approximately 160ha of bush, 120ha of cleared native, with the balance arable. Fencing is in excellent order, pastures are sound and “Longacres” has until the recent dry time carried approximately 5,000 DSE.
Improvements include a 4 bedroom weatherboard house, a modern 2 bed brick unit, 3 stand shearing shed and yards, cattle yards and crush, concrete floored workshop and 3 machinery sheds. Also included, on the top of Mount Cartwright at an altitude of 600m, is an off-the-grid bush cottage from which you can see Mt Wellington, Maria island and Ben Lomond.
The opportunity to purchase a stand alone grazing operation in the reliable Eastern Midlands is a chance that should not be missed.
