'Burrawongn Situated 8km North of Bombala, 90km to Cooma, 100km to Sapphire Coast, 190km to Canberra.
Undulating heavy black basalt and granite soil types, subdivided into 24 paddocks. The property has been fully pasture improved with phalaris, cocksfoot, fescue, and white and sub clovers. Prior to sowing down, each paddock has been sown with fodder crops and DAP fertiliser for two years. There has been an extensive bulk fertiliser programme with sub clover added on occasion.
Watered by approx. 4km double frontage to Bombala River, 15 dams, 2 trough systems feeding 18 troughs. Water in every paddock. Rainfall 650mm.
Improvements include:
4 stand shearing shed. The interior of the shearing shed was renovated in 2012/13 with new Lister electric stands, steel interior and exterior pens, gates and new board.
A 5 bay modern fully enclosed machinery shed. One bay has been developed into a lunch room with septic shower and toilet, gas hot water and cooking facilities, river and rain water. It is powered by a stand alone solar system with batteries and 8 solar panels.
A further 3 bay machinery shed.
2 sets of professionally designed HT steel panelled sheep yards, one on either side of the Bombala River. Both have Prattley drafting races. All races are concreted.
Timber cattle yards with HT steel forcing pen, race and head bale, race concreted. 2 large Kotza grain silos. All fencing in excellent condition.
Strategic native and exotic tree breaks. The establishment of many kilometres of exotic and native tree breaks have been part of the ongoing management programme on this property over the past 20 years.
Currently carrying approx 1000 1st x ewes, 1000 Merino ewes plus replacements, 70 Angus cows plus replacements and fattening lambs and steers. Livestock could be available by negotiation to the successful purchaser.
The livestock program is to fatten progeny prior to sale plus 2 age groups of merino wethers which are shorn and fattened. Upon inspection it is apparent the fattening program is easily achievable due to productive pasture and crops.
The offering of Burrawong provides a unique opportunity to purchase prime grazing and fattening country. Water is a feature plus improvements including fencing in excellent condition. Burrawong is a feature property in the Southern Monaro district.
All improvements are in excellent order, practical and not overdone. The pasture presents with a huge body of feed in an average season and perhaps higher stocking rates could be contemplated.
With a range of soil types and long fertilizer history Burrawong is a most desirable property at a peak of performance.
