Walk right in to a lovely homestead with fertile farmland & shedding
This slightly undulating 33.15-acre (13.42-hectare) property in scenic Glenrowan West is midway between Benalla (27.3 km) and Wangaratta (28.5 km), and only 18 min from Glenrowan. The land includes an expansive dam near the centre of the eastern boundary, as well as a smaller dam for the north paddock. Further north is a picturesque two-bedroom homestead together with farm structures.
Access is directly from Sudholz Road which is off Greta Road. A good tree-lined gravel road leads up to the charming house with vines along the verandah on two sides (appropriately the north and west sides for comfort) and a double carport to the side. Trees and garden further block the hot afternoon sun on the western side.
- The spacious living room has a wood heater with carved timber fireplace; a ceiling fan and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and flows out onto the verandah
- The open-plan kitchen and dining area is east-facing with polished timber floorboards and has a beautiful vista of green pastures with rolling hills beyond. The glass sliding door opens out onto the garden when entertaining
- The huge country kitchen features timber cabinetry, an island bench, and two servery windows that serve the verandah and look out on the beautiful garden. There is not only a wall oven, but a traditional slow-combustion wood-burning cooker with a flue to the chimney, as well as a giant walk-in pantry
- Spacious carpeted master bedroom includes an air-conditioner and ceiling fan. The other bedroom has timber flooring and both have built-in robes
- Bathroom includes a wide vanity and decorative feature tiles, and there is a separate toilet for convenience
- Enormous, well-lit laundry and drying/mud room provides abundant storage space and benchtops for sorting clothes and has direct access to outdoors
- Infrastructure includes a large 18m x 18m 4 bay shed (two open for farm vehicles and two lock-up for workshop and equipment) has concrete floors and power. A new 8m x 18m full-length skillion at the rear of this shed offers an extensive covered area for cars, boats, trailers, caravans, etc. There is also a double lockup garage and a 40ft shipping container (both currently used to store garden equipment). A 22,500-Litre rainwater tank is used for domestic purposes
Farming potential (STCA)
Local agriculture includes grazing (sheep and cattle, including dairy cattle), cereal cropping and some fruit growing. The paddocks have good fencing and shade trees. They are predominantly rye and clover pastures. The massive size of the main dam and the additional dam in the other paddock provide good options for agriculture, from a lifestyle hobby farm, with veges, fruit trees and a few horses, to cultivating crops or running sheep/cattle/goats.
Tourism potential (STCA)
Tourism opportunities are significant. Locally, there are tourists with an interest in Ned Kelly history (the property is only 3 mins from the old Kelly property so this really is Kelly country). There are skiers and tourists heading for Mount Buffalo and Myrtleford. Then there is the respected Glenrowan Wine Region spread across the slopes of the Warby Ranges. On top of this, there are an average 20,000 vehicles passing along the nearby Hume every day. The land zoned for Farming, so up to 10 tourists or holidaymakers could be catered for in bed-and-breakfast accommodation (perhaps for a farm-stay; horse-riding break; or health retreat).
The homestead has country charm on the outside and a comfortable, modern and uplifting interior. Each window and verandah looks out on attractive gardens, extensive lawns, dams and picturesque hills, call Sally Wilson today on 0437 198 751 to find out more or arrange a visit.
