With its park-like appearance and manicured grounds, Red Rock offers a unique combination of high yielding beef performance, outstanding infrastructure and an abundance of water.
Situated east of Walcha via the Oxley Highway on 528 acres in an area renowned for its deep and inherently fertile Basalt soils, 1200mm of rainfall and thriving perennial pastures, Red Rock is considered highly reliable and efficient to manage.
The sturdy home offers a four bedroom, two bathroom, double brick and tile design that features timber windows and a north easterly sun filled open plan kitchen dining and lounge rooms. Undercover alfresco verandahs are ideal for outdoor entertaining and taking in the spectacular scenery. The home is positioned in an attractive setting surrounded by established gardens, mature trees & shrubs with lush lawns. An apple orchard comprises 30 trees of 4 different varieties. The current owners maintain a golf practice range in the front yard amongst more recent tree plantings principally comprising Red, Scarlet & Pin Oaks, various Elms and Beech Trees, Linden, Tulip, Ornamental Pears, Cedars, Himalayan Spruce and Redwoods.
The high quality infrastructure comprises an enclosed aircraft hangar located adjacent to the 700m gravel airstrip, two machinery sheds each 24m x 12m; the main complete with concrete flooring and a hard stand, extensive lighting, workshop with a toilet & shower plus a coolroom.
The property comprises 5 separate portions and is subdivided into 8 main paddocks with a central laneway and smaller holding paddocks around the stockyards. The rich pastures are well established and comprise perennial species of Fescue, Cocksfoot, Rye Grass and clovers benefitting from a strong fertiliser history. A striking feature of Red Rock is the scale and style of the native eucalypt trees. The current owners have operated a successful beef breeding enterprise with a production capacity of approximately 180 cows. Red Rock is equally suited to running a backgrounding operation targeting kilograms of beef produced per hectare. The steel cattle yards are equipped with a vet crush & drafting pound with a capacity considered more than adequate to service the needs of the farm with all weather access for trucks.
The reliable and high level of water security is a bonus for production. Water for livestock is provided via substantial dams, the headwaters of Joyces Creek, tributary gullies and a network of troughs. The high yielding bore services both the garden as well as the header tank for reticulation.
With the vendors clear on their decision to sell this unique and highly productive grazing farm, the sale of Red Rock presents an opportunity not to be missed.
