322 Balcarry Lane, Tamworth, NSW 2340

Area: 151 hectares 373.12 acres 

Location: 'Balcary', 322 Balcarry Lane is located in an enviable position just 31km from Tamworth on the banks of the Peel River. Only 9km from the village of Attunga and a short drive to Somerton, it is well located to capitalize on a range of services in the Tamworth region, including medical, educational and recreational facilities, as well as livestock marketing and processing facilities. Attunga itself has a primary school, fuel and convenience store while Tamworth caters for everything. 

Country: a beautiful blend of country ranging from soft alluvial river flats on the banks of the Peel River to open arable basalt soils, the country is a very versatile mix, ideal for producing irrigated fodder and improved pastures, as well as quality dryland grasses and fodder. Every inch of the farm is usable, with current crops including lucerne, oats and tropical grasses. Timber ranges from river red gums through to stands of white box. 

Water: water is a feature, with stock and domestic water pumped from a bore to a header tank and gravity feeding to a series of troughs. There is a 301 meg groundwater (Peel Allumvium) licence, with the irrigation water supplied by way of a groundwater excavation and diesel pump to underground mains and hydrants. A four span or 212m centre pivot can water up to 3 paddocks (moveable). The quality country combined with the water entitlements mean Balcary is an excellent proposition for breeding and fattening. 

Infrastructure: improvements are sound, and highlighted by a four bedroom weatherboard home, dated but structurally in very good condition and presently occupied, hay shed, machinery shed and sheep yards. There is an older brick dairy which hasn't been used for some time, while fencing is in good order and utilizes a laneway system to access most of the farm. 

Comments: an excellent opportunity, with quality land and water and plenty of upside, Balcary is a real chance for astute buyers to capitalise. The adjoining Hazlewood is also for sale (purchasers have the option to buy Balcary or buy both properties together). Rarely do these places come up with sale with quality land and water at an affordable price tag. Call Riley Gibson on 0417441688 to arrange an inspection.
