Country & Co is privileged to present this substantial and versatile farming operation, located approximately 15km west of Mossburn. With a proven history in dairy grazing, the property is well suited to ongoing dairy support, including grazing, wintering and supplement production, while also successfully operating as a sheep and beef unit.

Improvements include a centrally located seven stand woolshed with covered yards, cattle yards, deer facilities, extensive shedding and three well-maintained homes. Balanced soils, proven crop performance and scale position this as a high-quality and versatile farming opportunity, enhanced by the Hamilton Burn stream and natural setting.
