JUST listed for the first time is the renowned property known as Stoke Farm, which is 16 kilometres south east of the regional hub of Narrogin in the Narrogin valley.
Stoke Farm is a fifth generation family farm taken up and early selected in 1907.
The greatest attractions (apart from the location) are the outstanding and quality soil types, best described as 55 per cent medium loams and 35pc heavier types.
Original timbers include healthy stands of York gum, jam tree and white gum, all set gently in the undulating landscape.
There is evidence of granite on the property.
Soil tests revealed pH values ranging from 4.9 to 6, with an easy average of 5.5.
Fertiliser types and application rates are available upon request.
Lime and gypsum have been applied and this data is captured in the crop rotation table provided on request.
Stoke Farm is set on 15 locations and presents an excellent opportunity to invest in a quality holding within the Upper Great Southern region, which is a much sought-after location.
Rainfall records show an average of 427 millimetres from 1931 to 1974 and 365mm from 1975 to 2018, with the latter being the average long-term rainfall.
Independent mapping on the property showed 740 hectares are available for cropping and 200ha for grazing and parkland grazing.
The majority of the property is well covered with sub clovers which include Geraldton, Nungarin and Dalkeith, with some prolific stands evident.
Scheme water is connected to the property via two meters, with one transferring water to the house and sheds as well as tanks and troughs near the main house yards.
There are an additional 10 dams (three with catchments).
The cropping program for 2021 included barley, canola and oats.
Cropping rotations are available for the past five seasons.
Stoke Farm has a very moderate cropping history and has been run in conjunction with a robust and quality flock of Merinos.
Improvements include an older, comfortable five-bedroom, one-bathroom home; a large 33 metre x 13m five-bay fertiliser and grain shed with cement flooring and walls; five-stand shearing shed with quality steel yards; second general purpose shed and silos and tanks.
Generous laneways allow for easy movement of both stock and machinery from one side of the property to the other.
Stoke Farm is fenced into 16 main paddocks, with fencing being in good condition with some new fencing being completed in recent years.
