Nestled amongst the heart of the Hunter Valley and located only 3km south of Muswellbrook is this very unique property that has been owned by the same Aussie farming family for over 55 years. Two titles are being sold as one parcel totalling 298.253 hectares (737 acres) of prime grazing land. The topography of this property is best described as soft undulating country with a well-balanced mix of rich fertile heavy basalt soils, alluvial creek flats, shaded timber areas consisting of stands of iron bark and yellow box timber. Quite possibly one of the best cattle fattening properties to become available in our region with a carrying capacity of 100 cows and calves. The property has been divided into 9 paddocks, with all fences being stock proof, accompanied by internal laneways allowing stress free movements of stock around the property. For the equine enthusiast, there are 3 spelling yards each with water troughs and shade shelters, with room for more horse infrastructure. With an average rainfall of approximately 700mm, all stock is watered from a major dam on the property fitted with a solar pump system. Approximately 220,000 litres of stock water storage is held within two large tanks which is then gravity fed to all troughs. The water system is supported by 8 dams and water from Ramrod Creek which runs through the property for approximately 2km. This is a sustainable water supply even during server droughts. Infrastructure: - Steel cattle yards with loading ramp and undercover storage area makes for easy work when processing stock, loading stock and storing fodder or machinery. - Large lockable storage or machinery shed with 3 stables enclosed within is centrally located near the house. - Older style homestead with a fully fenced house yard, 3 bedrooms with built ins, ensuite to main bedroom, study and 2 bathrooms complete with wrap-around verandas allowing you to take in the views from every angle of your home. This is rural living with all the essential services at your fingertips. A bus stop is at the front gate with great schooling options within a close radius and major country towns and cities within a few hours. - 1.5 hour to Newcastle; - 2.5 hours to Sydney; - 2 hours to Tamworth. This property has endless possibilities for improvement. Whether you’re a grazier looking for more land, a family looking for rural living close to town with options to run your own livestock, or a property investor. I encourage you to take a look at this property, with subdivision also an option after purchase.
