KPMG Australia chief executive resigns amid whistleblower allegations and data leak fallout involving Telstra and Optus
A rare opportunity has emerged in Victoria's Goulburn Valley, where a portfolio of four well-established orchards has been listed for sale with an expected value of $24.75 million.
The properties—Central Park, Marenny Vale, Riversby, and Silver Orchards—cover a combined 627 acres and produce over 30,000 bins of fruit annually, including apples, pears, plums, and cherries.
Managed with advanced irrigation systems and large-scale packing facilities, the portfolio can be purchased as a single unit or as individual family-run businesses.
Silver Orchards, spanning 114 acres, is owned by Maurice and Rien Silverstein, fourth-generation orchardists retiring after decades of work in the region.Meanwhile, Riversby is operated by Ian Bolitho, who is also retiring after 46 years in fruit growing.Both families highlighted the long-term sustainability, innovation in water efficiency, and the rewarding nature of orchard management.
The listing is considered exceptionally rare in the region, offering buyers a secure harvest window due to the geographical spread across Shepparton East, Bunbartha, Nathalia, and Coomboona.
With established operations and modern facilities, the properties present a turnkey investment for anyone entering or expanding in the fruit industry.
