THE LAND
Horticulture Land for Sale
Since 2013, the horticulture land for sale has been used primarily for dry land farming. This has consisted of annual cereal crops (wheat, barley and legumes). During this time, the use of sulfonylurea herbicide has been avoided. Accordingly, the horticulture land for sale can be transitioned to a range of horticulture crops without concern from its prior use.
The total area of horticulture land for sale is 3,080ha, with an estimated 1,300ha of arable land available once the final approvals are granted and the remaining clearing is completed.
Soil Profile and Rainfall
The soil surveys confirm that the horticulture land for sale has high-quality soils suitable for various permanent plantings. The soils are neutral to alkaline, featuring horizons of calcium carbonate, which are generally weakly structured and range from deep, sandy, free-draining profiles on the dunes (rises) to some shallow, slow-draining clays in the swales and depressions.
The horticulture land for sale receives an average of 285mm of regional rainfall and has no history of irrigation.
The neighbouring plantings further testify to the property’s suitability for various irrigated horticultural crops.
