173 Dalveen Road, Woodchester, SA 5255

Dalveen is more than just land-it's a rare chance to acquire a significant piece of agricultural history on multiple titles, ripe for strategic investment.

Spanning 766.9 hectares (1,895 acres) of prime blue-ribbon cropping and grazing country, this historic offering represents one of the most esteemed properties on the Fleurieu Peninsula on which to expand your agricultural enterprise. 

And with its flexibility to purchase as a whole or in smaller lots, it goes beyond a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…

Last brought to market in 1853, the land has been carefully pieced together over time to form the iconic broadacre holding it is, honouring no less than 171 years of proud ownership. 

At its heart, the historic c1865 Dalveen Homestead boasts generously proportioned rooms set amongst beautifully maintained grounds offering a lifestyle of both prestige and comfort.

It's equipped with quality, functional outbuildings and operational infrastructure, including classic stone shearing sheds, modern implement sheds and silos to fully support your farming enterprise.

An estimated 512 hectares (1,265 acres) of the property is suitable for cropping, with predominantly loamy soil types providing ideal conditions for continuous cropping.

The property has supported 1,650 merino ewes plus April- May drop progeny, 800 ewe hoggets, and 250 ram hoggets. Long-term lambing percentages stand at an impressive 108%.

Dalveen has also dedicated up to 750 acres to on-farm stock feed and hay production, with 500 acres sown to barley, oats, beans, and wheat, and an additional 200 acres set aside for green feed grain for weaners. 330 acres has been sown this season to barley.

Previous cropping yields have been outstanding, with barley yielding up to 6 tonnes per hectare (average 4.5 tonnes/ha), and oats producing up to 5.5 tonnes per hectare (average 4 tonnes/ha).

The property benefits from a consistent fertilizer regime: Single Super at 180kg per hectare applied every 2-3 years on grazing land, and high-analysis fertilizer plus urea at 100kg per hectare applied annually to cropping areas.

Water security is a key asset, and Dalveen is situated in a reliable 18-inch (450-mm) rainfall zone. Stock water is supplied via a series of bores, pumped to header tanks, and gravity-fed to troughs across the property. There is approximately 150,000 litres of storage available via strategically positioned tanks.

A very strategic investment as a land-banking prospect, set in one of the region's most remarkable locations - invest in a rare legacy…
