"Grassville" Station is located approx 180 kms North of Adelaide Via Mt Mary, or 50 km East of Burra
Main access roads are formed and graded which allows for the ease of stock and equipment movement throughout the property
The Property:
Grassville Station incorporates primarily flat to undulating open light timbered country with creeks and gullies and natural water catchment areas.
The country is particularly picturesque and is ideal for stock production.
Vegetation:
The property is predominately open plains consisting of Salt Bush, natural grasses and natural clovers, with a light sprinkling of Black Oak and Sugar Wood trees - flourishing with very good recent rains.

Considerable time has been spent in relation to weed eradication, in particular, Onion weed, Boxthorn, Bathurst and Horehound.

Rainfall:

Fencing and Yards:
During the previous five seasons Grassville has been carrying out an extensive fencing program to complement the new fencing from the previous ten years.
New fences have been constructed using Weston Fencing. This is fully electric enabling the management of livestock to be done with absolute control.
A mixture of 5 and 6 line (17km) electric has been completed along with 20-30kms of Weston fence electric out rigging which has been added to high grade suspension fencing. It has been completed to enable the management of livestock to be controlled in management zones. All but a small amount of boundary has been either re-fenced or had electric out rigging fitted.
Approximately 20km of 6 and 7 line stock lock has also been added to existing fence on Grassville.
There are out yards, all of which have either been upgraded or rebuilt, grids enabling easy access for management of all regions of the property, numerous holding compounds for portable setup and trapping of livestock, enabling excellent stock handling.
House:
There is a 4 bedroom homestead situated on Grassville. This particular residence is dated and, whilst utilized in part for accommodation, is not of a particularly high quality. It could however be upgraded.
Shed:
A steel framed and galvanized iron clad, four stand shearing shed with Lister motor and steel sheep yards.
