"Hunter Farm" has been faithfully farmed regeneratively combining a high performing sheep and cattle property, while keeping in tune with the environment, offering 65 hectares of native bush and plantings along with a well thought out forestry component, located on the less productive steeper country.
The three bedroom family home with sleepout in a private sheltered garden setting has been tastefully renovated, adding to this aesthetically well-balanced property, running down to the Clutha River overlooking the Blue Mountains.
Other improvements include a four stand woolshed with covered yards, including sheep yards along with a full array of workshop, implement and hay sheds.
The farm is well subdivided into 80+ paddocks, with good access across the property with lanes and tracks. The property is low in altitude ranging from 100-225 MASL, with an annual rainfall of some 900-1000mm per annum.
The property runs 1,600 high performing ewes, along with replacement hoggets which are mated, also wintering 130 yearling and R2 trading cattle. Additional income from the forestry will also be an option. Farmed organically for approximately seven years, then the principals of regenerative farming were embraced. This includes minimal soil disturbance, no bare soil, use of multi species and not over grazing paddocks, supported with rotational grazing and higher stocking density. The farm joined with ATA Regenerative to undertake a farm monitoring system called Ecological Observational Verification (EOV). This is done yearly and an improvement in all measured areas is looked for. Currently Hunter Farm is receiving a premium for the wool by being in the EOV program.
This property offers a unique balance of a strong livestock performance at relatively low cost, while the new owner reaping the benefit, effort and foresight the current owners are selling with this aesthetically lovely and well presented property.
