Offering versatility and scale, 'Ingleby' is a substantial holding for the district consisting mostly of grey volcanic soils and alluvial river flats. Ideally suited to a breeding/fattening operation or cropping enterprise. A gently undulating heavy carrying piece of country with almost 4km of river frontage.
Homestead:
Originally settled by the Armytage family, the spectacular Georgian-style bluestone mansion was erected in 1861 together with matching outbuildings such as stables, coach house, workshop, staff quarters and blacksmith room.

In addition, the sale also includes a take and use license of 50 megalitres which can be used for irrigation purposes. 'Ingleby' is located within a 680mm average rainfall district.
