More than 1,500ha of grazing land at the foot of the Grampians in Victoria’s Western District has been listed for sale.
Comprising a combined 1,587 hectares, Mokanger (1,089 hectares) and Lewana (498 hectares) operate as a single enterprise, principally producing superfine Merino wool.
The properties carry more than 5,000 Merino ewes joined to Merino rams, over 3,200 Merino ewes joined to terminal sires, approximately 1,700 Merino wethers and approximately 5,200 mixed-sexed Merino lambs.
CBRE Agribusiness agents Danny Thomas and James Beer have been appointed to handle the sale.
“Mokanger and Lewana are outstanding grazing properties with an excellent history of wool production (usually between 16 to 17 microns), as well as a strong carrying capacity of approximately 25,000 DSEs” Mr Thomas said.
“The properties comprise a complementary mix of high quality soil types, reliable rainfall, extensively improved pastures and an excellent fertiliser history.”
He added: “The current owners have invested heavily in the farm, including the development of laneway systems and stock water infrastructure, replacement and ongoing maintenance of fencing and the improvement of the structures on the properties.”
Mokanger features excellent structural improvements, including the stunning Mokanger Homestead set within established and well-maintained gardens, a well-appointed manager’s residence, a four-stand shearing shed with undercover yards (approximate 1,000 sheep capacity) and numerous storage / machinery / hay sheds.
Structural improvements on Lewana include a cottage, three-stand shearing shed, machinery shed and storage shed.
Mokanger and Lewana are being offered for sale on a ‘Walk In Walk Out’ basis via Expression of Interest.
