Spring Grove was offered by Nutrien Harcourts through an expressions of interest campaign a year ago.

A well known local family is offering their farm after developing a modern cropping and livestock operation near Serpentine in north central Victoria.

Most travellers would better recognise the location as close by the Durham Ox bull signpost on the Loddon Valley Highway.

As well as traditional farming operations, the area has attracted many large piggery operations in recent years.

It offers modern infrastructure, highly productive cropping country and productive livestock country.
