Closed-cycle production and climate-controlled pig barns

In addition, the farm has a complete storage facility, feed silos and all the necessary machinery. The farm’s own photovoltaic power plant provides an independent power supply, with two backup generators.
Pastures for cattle and a house for the farm manager included in the package
However, the farm’s total area is 139,05 hectares, of which 135,5 hectare is owned and 3,54 ha is leased. The land consists of pastures that can accommodate and feed a herd of 70 adult cattle. Importantly in the Australian context, the farm also has a secure water supply.
In addition to the land and farm buildings, the offering also includes a renovated four-bedroom farmhouse with a three-car garage, as well as a second residential building for workers. No reserve price was stated in the listing, and tenders will be accepted until 12 November.
