"Willow Park" offers an exceptional opportunity to mix large scale farming with lifestyle!
A magnificent location - on Albury/Wodonga's doorstep with extensive frontage to Lake Hume, one of the regions largest tourist attractions. The best of both worlds!
"Willow Park" is currently run as a true mixed farming enterprise with an angus breeding herd, prime lamb production, cereal/oilseed cropping program plus fodder conservation of hay and silage.
The light filled colonial ranch style homestead is of solid brick construction with three bedrooms plus office, a modern kitchen/dining area, coolroom, large lounge, two bathrooms and under cover storage for two cars. The tranquil setting is a world away from Albury, with sweeping lawns and a large, low maintenance garden, overlooking expansive frontage of Lake Hume and the Table Top range. Set in the gardens is a separate retreat/sleepout and storage room. "Willow Park" is just 26 km from Albury via the Hume Freeway, three hours north of Melbourne & five hours south of Sydney. Albury is well serviced with multiple daily flights to both Melbourne & Sydney, the XPT train twice daily to both capital cities as well as VLine services to Melbourne.
A three bedroom cottage provides extra accomodation. Working improvements cover all your farming options, with large steel cattle yards, four stand raised board woolshed, machinery sheds, hayshed, grain shed and three Kotzur silos.
Soils range from red to brown and grey loams with areas of granite outcrop and hill, the topography is from gently undulating to hill country with magnificent views over lake Hume, Table Top range and the surrounding countryside. Remnant vegetation supplies excellent shade and shelter for stock, with Yellow Box, White Box, Red Box & Redgum. Numerous Landcare projects have been undertaken in recent years which compliment the aesthetic value of the property. The annual average rainfall is approximately 650mm (26"). Abundant water is supplied from many sources, not least the extensive Lake Hume frontage, along with catchment and spring fed dams and a well, plus nine rainwater tanks for domestic use.
Adjoining land with an area of approximately 1777 acres (719 ha) has been leased by the owners of "Willow Park"; the opportunity for the purchaser to continue this lease is a possibility.
