64.66 HECTARE (159.79 ACRE) FARM PORTION OF SOUTHERNWOOD ON GREAT ALPINE ROAD CORNER AT TARRAWINGEE
Approximately half of the historic Southernwood farm property on the Great Alpine Road only 14 kilometres east of Wangaratta at Tarrawingee is being offered by Elders Wangaratta
A portion of the property is on offer after almost 100 years of ownership by the McCormack family.
The homestead portion and adjacent pastured farmland of Southernwood is being retained.
On offer for sale is a highly desirable corner holding on the Junction of 1486 Great Alpine Road, Tarrawingee and Kay's Road, a no through access road to an adjacent farm property and to the Ovens River.
The portion on offer is a high-level block of fertile sandy loam soils with improved pastures of clover and rye. This portion of 64.66 hectares, or 159.79 acres is already fenced into three paddocks and is running cattle currently.
It is also held in four titles to present with excellent home building sites and great access afforded by the two road frontages.
The rectangular holding has a frontage of approximately one kilometre to the Great Alpine Road.
On its southern boundary there is approximately 850 metres of frontage to the Ovens River which runs below the pastured higher level of this holding.
Elders Real Estates selling agent Michael Everard says this portion of the Great Alpine Road east of Wangaratta and the Hume Freeway access is something of a "golden mile" with a number of long held farms and signature homesteads of the district plus a number of established lifestyle farming holdings.
"The auction will be a rare opportunity to secure a premium land parcel at a very desirable address with scope to continue to farm, crop or build a quality home, or to implement further development in the future.
"Since it has been held in name of the vendor McCormack family as a key part of their larger Southernwood property for almost one hundred years this is a real opportunity to secure premium farmland with multiple potentials.
