Offers are sought around $2.85 million for the well established dairy across 132 hectares (325 acres) which includes irrigation.

At that price, the agents from Raine and Horne say buyers can consider Blinkbonnie Dairy for around $8770 per acre.

Selling agent Paul Clifford also suggests a prospective buyer might convert the dairying property into beef production given its annual average rainfall of 725-750mm.
