High Calibre Narromine Property

Lockdale has an enviable reputation as being a proven performer in the Narromine District. Having been held in the Woods family for 3 generations (some 93 years) the property has been meticulously managed and improved during their tenure.
Being 84.7% arable Lockdale is tier one farming country. Primarily open Myall/Belah country the heavy black loamy soils are highly productive.
A feature of the property is how well drained it is with a series of drains directing water to the southern natural reservoir areas.

Access to the Homestead and the Shed/Silo Complex is via an all weather gravel road which has been a huge benefit in wet seasons. Not to mention the internal road system throughout the property allowing heavy vehicle access.

A very high standard of improvements is testimony of Lockdale's ability to perform.
The Homestead is a very comfortable modern 3 bedroom air conditioned home set in established lawns and gardens. Also featuring an ensuite, study, inground pool and double garage.
The standard and quantity of shedding needs to be inspected to be fully appreciated. It includes Machinery sheds, Hay sheds and a Workshop all in very good order.
The grain storage incorporates 700 and 300 tonne grain sheds as well as 4 x 100 tonne cone bottom silos, 3 x 50 tonne cone bottom silos, 2 fertilizer silos and 2 x 100 tonne flat bottom silos with an emptying facility.
The water is a feature at Lockdale with 11 dams enjoying great catchment in addition to a 4.2 meg High security water scheme that is metered and pumps to a 200,000 litre tank. That water under pressure is pumped to 4 concrete troughs and is utilized for the gardens and lawns at the Homestead.

The current operation normally farms 50% of the arable land and fallows the balance. Primarily wheat is grown. In addition to farming, 150 trade steers are fattened. There are 2 sets of steel cattle yards.
Lockdale in a former life bred top quality first cross ewes. There is a solid older 3 stand equipped shearing shed and steel sheep yards.

Lockdale comes with our highest recommendation. We invite your private inspection with the joint marketing agents. Lockdale is the cream of the crop.
