One of the many remarkable features of the prized Western District grazing country at Nareeb in Victoria is the large catchment dam at The Wash.
It's really more a lake at 24 hectares (60 acres) and all that water helps the host farm diversify from grazing into cropping or whatever else farming enterprise buyers can think of.
The Wash is on the market across 233 hectares (576 acres) in this tightly held area between Penshurst and Glenthompson.
Agents describe the offering as an "outstanding mixed farming enterprise with opportunity for further growth and development".
