Four grape producing Mildura properties listed

Four vineyards across Mildura have hit the market.
 
Two are in Cardross, one in Irymple and one in Merbein West.

They are being offered at prices ranging between $374,000 and $840,000.
 
The four separate assets are all being marketed by Ray White Mildura director Damian Portaro.

Portaro said table grape farms are particularly "appetizing" to buyers because they have a much higher income production.

"They are, however, more labor intensive and open to more fluctuations in pricing due to vineyards potentially having contracts in place with wineries," he said.
 
"But despite these possible contracts, table grape farms can sell at two to three times the amount of a wine property."

According to statistics in 2016, the Mildura/Swan Hill/Wentworth regions produced 75% of Australia’s table grapes, so that highlights just how sought-after the area is for this type of asset, he noted.

The first vineyard being offered is Lot 16, Euston Avenue, Irymple (pictured in title), which has an asking price of $424,000 – $466,000
