It has been held and operated for three generations of the Kemp family ownership, who first acquired the property fifty years ago in 1974. And they have operated a substantial contract fat lamb operation of up to 3000 head annual turnoff, plus Angus cattle fattening operation plus up to 130 hectares potential of grains cropping has been conducted here.

The property includes a spacious, liveable house with four large bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms, suitable for a growing family. The two living areas are complimented by two open fires. The Kitchen also has a woodfire oven. Outside there is a tennis court and swimming pool that can easily be rejuvenated. The garden benefits from permanent gravity fed spring water.
The property has an ideal mix of belts of higher forested land adjoining the landmark Winton range which provides excellent shelter for cattle and acts as a significant rainfall trap and catchment, adjoined by the significant expanse of level to rolling farming country- gradient about two percent. And there are significant springs on the property.
There is a natural cross property drainage system that conveys this water flow to its eastern most point.
This provides significant natural water resources for the mixed farming operation of fat lambs, Angus cattle fattening and cropping choices of wheat, canola, barley etc.
There is a plan in place and partly implemented to create a centre pivot summer cropping option under a significant centre pivot system on one portion where three phase power has been brought to the pump site and installed.

The Tarrawatta farm property has two large turkey nest dams plus multiple paddock dams as all the water retrieved from the hill slopes and springs are brought across the farm.
The fat lamb enterprise has seen up to three thousand lambs contracted to two important abattoir processors.

Tarrawatta has also run 120 Angus cows and there are separate cattle and sheep yards.
There are 80 hectares of established lucerne pastures across four paddocks that is used for finishing the fat lambs.
There is significant farming infrastructure and shedding in place plus a farm office and a two-stand equipped shearing shed.
