26 Whytecross Road, Durham Ox VIC 3576

Escape to your own sanctuary with approximately 60 acres nestled along the Serpentine Creek Billabong. Surrounded by stately river red gums, this property offers a blend of nature and functionality, with two machinery sheds, hay sheds, four Besser brick stables with a tack room, yards and other outbuildings. Enjoy 1km of creek frontage and 27 megalitres of water from the Goulburn Murray system, creating a picturesque environment perfect for farming, camping or conservation. Crown land leases extend the possibilities.

Dating back to 1890, the mud brick homestead was once home to the Mason, Byrne and Whytecross families. The home comprises four bedrooms with built-in robes, a formal lounge, a spacious family lounge with open fireplace, split system, evaporative cooling and an office. The kitchen and bathroom have been remodelled. There is a part return verandah, double Besser brick garage and water tanks.

An extensive formally picturesque garden surrounds the house, with a BBQ/picnic area included. You have access to a small private island in the billabong. The 30 acres of land are on three separate titles. There is good grey loam with red gum and lignum regrowth.

With good all-weather road access, you’re only 15 minutes from Boort and Pyramid Hill, and an hour to Bendigo. This is a rare opportunity to secure yourself a conservationist’s haven. Explore the possibilities and contact listing agent Greg Fathers to inspect.
