Coming on to the open market is the 52000 hectare Canegrass Station, located approximately 70 kilometres north/north-east of Morgan, 130km from Burra, 250km from Adelaide and 170km from the Barossa Valley, making it one of the most accessible pastoral properties in South Australia.
The current owners purchased the property in 2007 and began implementing a carefully planned programme of property development and sustainable management to create a low labour input, combined with a highly efficient sheep grazing pastoral enterprise.
With over 60 percent of the property being de-stocked for the past 14 years, the property offers an immediate valuable feed source despite a difficult period for much of the pastoral region.
Through careful planning of water and grazing systems and well developed and engineered stock management facilities, the property is set up for ease of mustering and management.
With a system of 29 self-mustering gates and associated watered holding yards, minimal labour is required to manage Canegrass Station.
Recently cleaned dams, water storage systems and new pipelines to strategic water points sees Canegrass Station with a well-planned and efficient stock water system which allows stock to graze effectively across the vast property. The long term average annual rainfall is 241mm.
The fencing is first class, comprising more than 200km of replacement fencing with 8.90.30 mesh, all steel posts, droppers and galvanised strainer end assemblies under the current owners strategic management.
Likewise the building improvements are exceptional with two large modern, energy efficient homesteads with independent solar power systems.
A private graded airstrip and 450km of graded roads complete an outstanding package.
Canegrass Station will be offered for sale by auction at the Pullman Adelaide, 16 Hindmarsh Square, Adelaide, at 2pm on Friday, October 4.
