The 72ha property, about 15km north of Colac, features a good balance of soils, including some volcanic basalt country.
"It's got magnificent soil," David said.
"There's no fertiliser in it because we just don't need it."
Yangalla features a 14-aside herringbone swing over dairy with an automatic feed system and 6000-litre vat.
David said the property could carry up to 160 dairy cows.
The property is watered by a reliable bore that has an electric pump and pressurises water to troughs throughout the farm.
"There's certainly no shortage of water here," David said.
There is a four-bedroom weatherboard home at the property.
It features a family room and formal lounge, plus a study, and is heated by a wood heater and two reverse-cycle split systems.
The bathroom is newly renovated.
The property has a three-bay garage, hayshed and additional sundry shedding.
