In the highly sought after, but tightly held Cootamundra region, rarely does the opportunity to purchase 500 acres of quality mixed farming country present itself.
At approximately 90% arability, boasting red loam soils to grey loams near the creek line, 'Westbury' is highly suited to cash crops, grazing crops, as well as lucerne and other improved pastures. Wheat was sown on the property last week.
Water is a feature with a operational bore, town water and two good-sized dams, plus access to the Ironbong Creek. 'Westbury' truly lends itself to a successful cattle or sheep operation, with an estimated carrying capacity of 4 DSE per acre (season dependent).
For horse enthusiasts, there is 50 acres of small paddocks established for horses and a campdraft arena in working order.
'Westbury' is approximately 25 minutes from Cootamundra and 45 minutes from Wagga Wagga, making it relatively close to large labour sources, shopping centres, Wagga Wagga Airport, Wagga saleyards and all other major facilities. The property is approximately 4.5 hours drive to Sydney and 2.5 hours to Canberra.
