Elders Emms Mooney - 'Glengowan South' 584 Three Brothers Road, Newbridge

"Glengowan South" forms part of the larger holding, "Glengowan" which has been owned continuously by the Gordon family since 1858. Considered one of the prime agricultural enterprises in the central tablelands, "Glengowan South" presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with scale, unlimited diversity and outstanding productivity. Over its 157-year history, "Glengowan South" has supported successful sheep and prime lamb enterprises, substantial cropping programs and prolific yearly hay and fodder production. It is currently home of the 1000 head Glengowan Angus cattle stud and commercial herd, established in 1957 and 1931.

"Glengowan South" is open grazing country rising from spring fed creek flats to undulating slopes. Soils consist of red and brown basalt with some grey and red loams with deeper pockets on the creek flats. The country is classed as 95% arable with timbered shade areas comprised of yellow box and gum varieties. The cultivation and pasture areas have benefitted from a program of deep ripping over recent years and there is a strong history of weed control and fertilisation of the cropping and grazing paddocks.

The majority of the property is pasture improved with a mix of pastures including Rye Grass, Clover Phalaris, Fescue and Cocksfoot. In rotation with the pastures, cropping programs have included wheat, oats, vetch, sudax, millet, buckwheat and lucerne. Ample and permanent stock water is provided by a reticulated system operating from a mains powered bore and a network of tanks and concrete troughs which are supplemented by natural springs, creeks and dams.

The elevation ranges from 900m to 1080m and the average rainfall is approximately 800mm per annum.

The property is fenced into 20 main paddocks accessed by several laneways. Fencing is mainly hinge joint with some ring lock and netting. The owners estimate a carrying capacity of 10- 12 DSE/ha.

Improvements include an attractive four-bedroom home in established gardens with sheds, a 2-bedroom cottage, 4 silos, bore, tanks, troughs and 2 large hay sheds.
There is good road access from Three Brothers Road and from the Barry Moorilda Road and the property is close to Bathurst, Orange, Blayney and 25 km to CTLX, the major sheep and cattle selling complex for the Central Tablelands.

"Glengowan South" is being offered as part of the owners' succession and retirement plans and presents an unprecedented opportunity to secure an exceptional property in a highly regarded and tightly held area.
