Lot 1 - Day Rd, Devenish - 450 Acres / 182.1 Hectares. Sown to Canola 2024
Lot 2 - Oliver Rd, St James - 228 Acres / 92.3 Hectares. Sown to Wheat 2024

These blocks offer a prime opportunity for high-yield grain production across its expansive circa 274 hectares or 678 acres of fertile loam soils. Located in the heart of Victoria’s productive cropping region, the land is particularly well-suited for dryland cropping with a focus on grains, currently supporting both canola and wheat. The quality of the soil, combined with an average annual rainfall of 524 mm, provides an excellent foundation for consistent grain yields.
This property benefits from recent soil improvement initiatives, including lime applications over the past three years, and soil tests in 2024 have shown a pH level of over 6, indicating healthy and balanced soil conditions ideal for grain cultivation. The region's climate and soil composition offer optimal conditions for winter grain crops, with a mild slope that ensures efficient water retention and distribution, enhancing crop growth and resilience.
Additionally, the property's designation within the Farming Zone (FZ1) and its agricultural land use classification make it specifically tailored for large-scale grain operations. The property presents a relatively stable environment conducive to reliable grain production cycles.
Given its scale, soil quality, and favorable climate conditions, these two parcels represent a valuable asset for grain growers looking to expand or optimise their operations in one of Victoria's productive agricultural areas

Possession is available for the coming season.
