Overview
"St Hillier" - Crop & Livestock Mixed Farming
This meticulously managed mixed farming enterprise spans approximately 773 hectares (1,910 acres) and is renowned for its prime lamb production and high-yield cereal crops. The property boasts excellent farm infrastructure, including a beautifully renovated four-bedroom homestead with scenic views of executive surroundings featuring a tennis court, swimming pool, and well-maintained gardens.
Additional accommodations include a renovated two-bedroom manager's quarters designed for shearers or workers, featuring an open-plan living area, kitchen, billiard room with a full-size billiard table, and bathroom. Adjacent to the shearing shed is a separate small cottage serving as a comfortable shearer's tea room with kitchen facilities.
The property also includes a second homestead on the Braeside block, comprising a three-bedroom house currently tenanted, which could serve as an additional manager's residence. This block contains several sheds for farm implements, storage, and hay storage.
The farm consists of 12 titles, with 10 located east of Benalla-Yarrawonga Road and 2 to the west. It is divided into 30 main paddocks connected by a formed central laneway, facilitating excellent access and livestock movement across the property.
Water security is robust, with a reticulated system linking multiple sources, including 30 dams (four spring-fed) and 14 stock troughs supplying water to all paddocks. A 4-meg water connection via the Thoona private pipeline further enhances water availability, with separate water connections to each house block. The region receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 556mm.
Farm infrastructure features a well-laid-out four-stand shearing shed equipped with modern stock handling equipment, including a full double ProWay Bulk Handler, two serviceable steel stock yards, multiple machinery sheds and workshops, including a newly constructed four-bay steel machinery shed with sliding door access, concrete flooring, and LED lighting. Additional facilities include hay sheds, sundry shedding, four grain silos, and two horse stables.
The agricultural activities on the property are diverse and productive, with a strong history of prime lamb production and cereal cropping. The farm is suitable for sheep and cattle feedlotting and cattle production. Current stocking includes approximately 2,500 ewes, 2,000 lambs, 40 rams, and six alpacas. Cropping operations cover around 120 hectares of wheat, 50 hectares of canola, 10 hectares of oats, and 25 hectares of forage crops. Over 75% of the property is arable, with cropping primarily aimed at providing supplementary feed for livestock.
Recent pasture improvement programs have involved sowing a mix of sub clover, rye, Phalaris, cocksfoot, and other species. Fertilizer applications over the past five years typically include 100-200 tonnes of lime annually, 30-40 tonnes of MAP on crops, and 30-40 tonnes of superphosphate on pastures. A 2025 soil analysis report is available upon request.
