The farm, which boasts red loamy soil, has 10 silos for grain storage with a combined capacity of about 600 tonnes.
Selling agent Wolfie Wagner said the property would impress prospective buyers.
"Dixie is very suitable for grazing, fat lambs, lucerne hay, cereal cropping, or alternatively would make an ideal dairy conversion property," he said.
"It is an ideal property for the astute buyer looking to purchase a genuine mixed-farming enterprise in the southern Riverina district of NSW."
Dixie features a three-bedroom home nestled in an attractive garden.
The well-maintained house has a renovated kitchen, dining area, lounge room, sitting room, office, two bathrooms, laundry and sunroom.
Water supply to the home is provided from rainwater from two tanks.
A Colorbond steel-framed double garage with a storeroom-workshop attached is conveniently located close to the house.
An orchard on the south side of the property features a variety of fruit trees.
Dixie is divided into 15 paddocks with laneway access to most.
There are large numbers of established trees throughout the property, providing shade and shelter for stock.
Internal and boundary fencing is sheep-proof and in impressive condition. All gates are steel and in good-working order. There is a clean-water dam on the eastern side of the property, which can be topped up from the channel system prior to winter.
All paddocks, except for two, have water troughs, which access water from a Murray Irrigation Limited channel or underground bore. The property has 1109 megalitres of water entitlements. Water is supplied via seven wheels, which all feed off the same supply channel. Most of the property can be flood irrigated.
"The system is especially suited for winter pastures and cereal cropping on a broad acre basis," Wolfie said. "Multiple supply wheels ensure short supply channels minimising water losses."
Wolfie said the farm was versatile and suitable for a range of pursuits.
Improvements include two large hay sheds, a machinery shed, shearing shed and yards, cattle and sheep yards, garage, workshop and fuel shed.
Machinery including tractors, a loader, header and a large square hay baler will be made available subject to negotiation.
