714.7019 Hectares Freehold
Mt Joy is a substantial South Otago landholding located in the Taumata district, faithfully farmed by the Carruthers family for more than a century across four generations, centrally positioned between Balclutha and Gore, with Clydevale as the nearest service township.
Comprising of 714 hectares, Mt Joy is recognised for its scale and versatility, underpinned by extensive areas of easy rolling contour and productive silt loam soils. Currently leased for arable cropping.
The home is a comfortable four-bedroom Ted McCoy designed home heated by a heat pump and fire. A second three-bedroom home that has been partially modernised.
Farm improvements include an older three-stand woolshed with covered yards, four haybarns, a large fertiliser shed and set of cattle yards located inside the shed.
The property has excellent access from both Dumfries Road and Lonsdale Road, supported by internal farm tracks that provide strong connectivity throughout the farm.
A development plan is also in place for the installation of a solar powered stock water system. This system is designed to draw water from the Pomahaka River and pump it to a central high point on the property, offering future owners flexibility to complete and configure a stock water scheme to suit their farming operation.
Mt Joy has historically supported sheep and cattle farming, with more recent use including cropping. Its scale, soil type, and contour make it an appealing proposition for a wide range of buyers, including those seeking a finishing unit, dairy support property, or a potential dairy conversion.
