The properties are the original home of Aberdeen Dorset Horn and Poll Dorset Stud.

“Aberdeen” covers 412 acres with improvements of a substantial four-bedroom brick home, excellent three-stand woolshed, ex stud/machinery shed, sheep yards, hay shed and utility shed providing a great opportunity for a farm build-up or lifestyle parcel with income.

This property is a grazing parcel with a cereal option and about 300 acres has been farmed in the past. Pastures comprise sub clover and areas of natives

“Redbank” (160 acres) has gently undulating red loam soils and is principally all arable and on town water.

Improvements include a woolshed and yards, as well as a neat three-bedroom home set in a pleasant garden with sweeping views of the valley. The 320 acres that joins the home block comprises quality red loam soils watered by dams.
