Situated less than 1km* from the hamlet of Archies Creek and with panoramic elevated views west to Wonthaggi and south to Bass Strait, seldom do large coastal cattle holdings of this calibre come to market along Bass Coast.
As it resembled the fertile coastal pastures of the Canadian municipality Kitimat, the patriarch of the family named the 101* acre grazing property 'Kitimat Lodge'. 40 years on and the owners of the property have made the heartfelt decision to pass the baton on in favour of new owners.
THE HARD WORK HAS BEEN DONE!
A renowned cattle and bullock fattening enterprise, the well laid out farm consists of 9 paddocks across 4 Titles and supports upwards of 3* to 4* adult steers per hectare. A sound stock rotation strategy, coupled with fertile deep sandy soil and annual rainfall in the vicinity 896mm*, enables self-sustaining production of silage and hay.
Stock and domestic water is underpinned by 7 dams and the additional (and unique) benefit of town water connection.
A network of laneways allows for efficient movement of stock, established shelter belts and rolling coastal terrain provides adequate shelter for stock. A good network of reticulated troughs and excellent fencing completes the paddock complex.
THE HOME
Located on Archies Creek Road, with an unfettered elevated south-easterly view across the municipality of Bass Coast to Wonthaggi, you'll be super impressed with the location.
Built using double brick and consisting of 5 bedrooms (main with ensuite and walk in robe), 4 bathrooms, large family room, separate dining room and kitchen, office, utility rooms and double garage under main roof; there's lots of space for families and hosting friends.
IMPROVEMENTS
Further improvements include a 3 bay steel and concrete machinery / hay shed; an additional 3 bay machinery shed / hay shed with lock up workshop / chemical storage room. A serviceable set of cattle yards with loading ramp is very accessible for loading and unloading of stock.
An old piggery shed with floor space footprint measuring 280m2*, remains strategically located on the highest point of the block and may provide a site for redevelopment opportunity into the future (STCA).
THE LOCATION
The location of 'Kitimat Lodge' delivers on multiple levels.
In terms of farming, it's one of Victoria's most productive grazing regions, with consistently high annual rainfall and fertile sandy soil.
From a liveability perspective, 'Kitimat Lodge' ticks all the boxes. It's peaceful and tranquil yet is conveniently located a short distance from Wonthaggi's regional shopping, school and health care amenity. And from a recreation perspective, some of Victoria's best surf and fishing beaches are moments away.
At just over an hour and 30 minutes* from Melbourne's CBD, even closer from Melbourne's south eastern suburbs, 'Kitimat Lodge' is a wonderful 'country coastal escape'.
