'Sheoak Hill'
This substantial once in a lifetime property dedicated to biodiversity and environmental improvement, is situated in the heart of the picturesque and secluded Rowsley Valley just 60km from Melbourne CBD.
Since 2017 the property has undergone a massive transformation with around 300,000 native trees and shrubs planted throughout with direct seeding and seedlings, and now provides an important wildlife corridor/biolink between Werribee Gorge State Park and Brisbane Ranges National Park.
Stand on top of the magnificent 'Sheoak Hill" and admire the sweeping views of a property that now supports more than 130 species of birds, including threatened species such as Swift Parrots, Diamond Firetails and Black Falcons and provides a habitat for Koalas, Swamp Wallabies, Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Echidnas, Sugar Gliders and Wombats.
The successful purchaser will be required to sign a deed of covenant with Trust for Nature (Victoria) to recognise the work performed and the ongoing stewardship and protection required on the habitat and land, and will be able to benefit significantly from the existing Native Vegetation Offset Payments which are in place until 2028 (details available on completion of Confidentiality Agreement). Approximately 44ha of the land is not part of the covenanted areas in designated locations which could support an 'eco-lifestyle' development (STCA), livestock or other pursuits.
In addition to the work above, there are existing stands of Blue Gum (10ha), Sugar Gum (50ha) and revegetated Eucalypt plantations, all established from year 2000 onwards. There are numerous dams and troughs as well as frontage to the seasonally spring-fed Parwan Creek running through the front part of the property.
The property has sealed road frontage, and services including modest but neat 3BR home. Structural improvements include an excellent Woolshed (3 phase power connected), 40ft x 75ft Machinery shed and a brick six-a-side Herringbone dairy (unused). The land is well fenced throughout and features a central access track.
Swap vehicle traffic and highways for wildlife corridors!
