PRICED to sell, Westways is 30 kilometres from Moora and offers buyers a fantastic ability to have a sheep and/or cropping enterprise, make a long-term investment in plantations and capture the ever growing wildflower tourism industry.
The opportunity to diversify your operation with this property is exceptional, with 1874.1 hectares on two titles.
With an established wildflower business that has both tourism and international export business avenues, contracted plantations of sandalwood and gum and a high percentage of well cleared livestock and cropping country, this property is one of the most diverse on the local market.
Planted in 2008, the well-established sandalwood trees cover 110ha.
Host trees to the sandalwood include Acacia species and Casuarina.
A by-product of this plantation are the sandalwood nuts which are harvested, roasted/seasoned, packaged and sold to various distributors in the Mid West.
The gum plantation (eucalyptus river gum and sugar gum) was planted in 2009 and covers 225ha, which along with the Sandalwood plantation, is under contract with the Forest Products Commission for harvest share and carbon revenue.
Details of these contracts are available to interested buyers.
Sheep are able to graze among the plantations which also act as shade.
Regrowth bushland of 772ha provides the owners with a fantastic array of wildflowers.
For 40 years, a successful wildflower business has been established, supplying cut and preserved wildflowers for export to Japan and a new market in China.
A more recent venture is the commencement of tourism within the property’s picturesque bushland, with 10 campsites registered for eco-tourism and a four-wheel self-drive circuit tour.
For more details on their tourism enterprise you can visit westwayswildflowers. com
There are also 323.7ha at the front of the block that is ideal for running stock or cropping with the ability to run about 2000 sheep.
Infrastructure on Westways includes a nine metre x 17m machinery shed, 18m x 22m four-stand shearing shed and 500-head capacity sheep yards.
There’s also an attractive three-bedroom, two-bathroom home among the gum trees.
