WASLEE Downs offers many features and with the high demand for quality land, this property needs to be thoroughly considered.
The property is 10 kilometres north of Badgingarra with direct access to Brand Highway.
It has a 4.2 gigalitre water licence which offers various opportunities and given the work and effort that it has taken to establish this property, the buyer has the freedom to decide how to utilise this enormous water resource.
Consisting of a total of 1346 hectares and being used as a cropping and cattle fattening property, Waslee Downs offers an array of opportunities.
A comprehensive hydrological assessment has been done on the property, with all the data being available to the new owner.
There are several options throughout the property that would suit a centre pivot irrigation system if required, with a full map of the points available.
There is 1200ha which the sellers describe as being croppable and with an average annual rainfall of 500 millimetres.
The property has a good mix of soils which feature about 400ha of sandy clays to the north of the property and heading south are a mix of productive gravel sands and sandy loams.
The owners have cropped 400ha annually in recent years as they have concentrated on feeding store cattle with a lot of success.
The cropping fertiliser regime has involved 120 kilograms per hectare of K-Till with a top up of 100 litres a hectare of liquid nitrogen.
Pastures are top-dressed annually with 100kg/ha of super potash and followed-up with 100L/ha of liquid nitrogen.
Some perennial grasses have been planted.
Utilising high fertiliser inputs allowed the owners to have peak numbers in the spring period of 2000-head of store cattle.
The owners consistently have 1000 head in the region over an annual period and having abundant feed and water available.
This allows them to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise at short notice.
The property has a circa 1970s fibro and iron, three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage with an office and wonderful views over the valley.
A 40 metre x 20m dome shelter is used for any machinery or fodder storage and a set of steel, portable cattle yards have been set up to conveniently handle any cattle operations.
The property has excellent seven-line Ringlock fencing with a barb and pine posts.
Complementing the production bore and water licence, there is a second stock bore, three soaks, nine dams, five tanks and 10 troughs.
Water is reticulated thoughout the property by 40mm poly pipe which minimise emergency situations when running larger numbers of cattle.
