Elders Rural Services is delighted to have been appointed by Down Ampney Corporation to manage the sale of the historic Mondilibi Aggregation, ideally located 12km north of Mortlake in the renowned Western District of Victoria.
Consisting of 3,230 hectares (7,983 acres) the aggregation is regarded as one of the region’s most productive investment scale assets underpinned by an excellent natural resource base and ideally positioned to key livestock and grain export pathways.
