Editorial piece by John Kennedy

The vendor of the 42.8 hectare, or 106 acre, farm block conveniently located on the corner of Federation Way and Kings Road Norong, or only seven kms west of Rutherglen township, has a simple reason for offering the property for sale.
Having completed multiple improvements, especially in pasture development, and with four generations of farming history in his family, he is ready to scale up to a much larger farming holding.
The conveniently located property has been listed for Sale through Elders Real Estate in Wangaratta.
It is anticipated it will have significant appeal as it is well positioned where the major farm holdings are much larger in size.
It is expected buyer interest will come from throughout the local district as this would be a readily accessible great out block, or an ideal addition to an established farm holding.
"It also has lifestyle appeal, as with a transformer in place and power connected and many attractive building sites its location within easy reach of the Rutherglen and Corowa townships and with Wangaratta only thirty four kilometres to the south by a major regional road, it is in a great location as a living destination.
"With its sealed main road frontage and corner position with its second frontage to the dirt on Kings Road there will be an as of right ability to obtain a home building permit."
The property is currently subdivided into two paddocks with stock proof fencing and includes the general purpose Colorbond steel farm building measuring 18 by 12 metres with three roller door access points.
This building is accessed by a formed gravel road and will suit many uses for fodder and machinery storage and general uses.
With a concrete floor, power connected and even a wood heater installed, it provides a great general purpose building,
There is also a reliable stock water dam on the holding plus a set of temporary stock yards which could sell with the property.
The vendor is currently running 315 Merino ewes on the property with Dorset rams for first cross lamb production.
Pasture improvement works he has completed over the past eight years included the applications of three hundred ton of pig manure he sourced locally, plus he has applied gypsum twice at the rate of two and a half ton per hectare.
Lime has also been applied and these applications the vendor says have significantly improved the soil structure and its overall productivity.
The property has been sown down to pasture and has also in recent times been cropped with canola and oats.
Elders Real Estate selling agents say that farm and lifestyle holdings in the Rutherglen district are being keenly sought and generally achieve land sale values of over $7,000 an acre.
With so many features to recommend this property, from its continued grazing or cropping flexibility, to a highly desirable lifestyle holding of scale and with great potential and scope to build a family home, I'd expect this property to sell at the top of local district averages.
