"Eagle Rock" is a high calibre 89* hectare / 220* acre grazing property with outstanding bespoke homestead, rolling green pastures, native shelter belts and gold mine!
With excellent soil structure and annual rainfall in the vicinity of 1,012mm*, the region is an agricultural powerhouse renown for livestock production, viticulture and other commercial horticultural pursuits. Located 5* minutes from Fish Creek on the road to Wilsons Promontory, the property is a short drive to the popular seaside hamlets of Sandy Point and Walkerville, and the pristine Gippsland beaches of Waratah Bay.
The Homestead
The elevated position of the 58* square homestead toward the rear of the property is impressive. A bespoke architectural build, the solid stone homestead will impress with its quality and 360-degree panoramic view across rolling green Gippsland pastures, Wilsons Promontory and Waratah Bay to the south.
Cleverly designed, on entry the homestead features an expansive central plan living area, separate 2-bedroom guest wing to the left and 2-bedroom plus study, family accommodation to the right. Built with guests and extended family members in mind, the homestead has at times generated additional income through AirB&B hosting.
High ceilings, expansive rooms with large, double-glazed windows fill the home with natural light. A feature stone wall with built-in wood fire and split systems provide heating and cooling throughout.
The chef's kitchen and stone island benchtop overlooks the living area and is built to the highest quality and includes stainless steel appliances and walk in panty.
Family accommodation off to the right comprises 2 large bedrooms and a study (3rd bedroom), each with wall to ceiling robes. The master bedroom includes a private ensuite with sub-floor heating, frameless shower and bath with views across Gippsland. The family wing also features a games room, separate toilet, powder room and laundry and internal access to the double garage. The guest wing encompasses 2 double bedrooms, a bathroom, toilet and separate living room.
The homestead is neatly landscaped with a pebble paved driveway, low maintenance Australian native plants and irrigation to most gardens. Domestic water is supplied by a network of poly rainwater tanks. Gardens irrigated by way of stock and domestic dams.
The Farm
The farm consists of 24* paddocks with an accumulated area of 88.2* hectares (218.1* acres) across 3 titles.
A well-made central driveway meanders through the property past paddocks and tranquil native shelter belts to the homestead at the rear of the property. Paddocks are gently undulating and tractable, with rainfall off natural gullies filling a network of 6 dams across the property. A large dam at the front lower section of the property houses a pump that transports water via a sub-ground poly pipe network to a 90,000* litre Heritage header tank (off Wallis Ridge Road). The header gravity feeds stock and domestic water across the property to a network of floated concrete troughs.
Primary soil type is Brown Kurosols which typically occur within South Gippsland's higher rainfall regions. The region does benefit from good annual rainfall in the vicinity of 1,012mm*.
Fences across the farm are in good to fair condition and consist of a combination or star picket and treat pine post with 7 strand wire. Electric fences feature across most of the property including gateways.
Further improvements include an excellent 4-bay Colorbond shed, with 2-bays enclosed on a concrete slab. An array of 20 solar panels mounted on the shed provide power the property's electric fence network. Adjacent the 4-bay shed is a 2-bay shed used to house additional farm machinery.
A small quarry on the property provides excellent road base material for internal roads and landscaping.
The Gold Mine
"Considerable excitement has been caused at Fish Creek by what promises to be an important gold discovery between Fish Creek and Walkerville". Gippsland Mercury et al. (12 March, 1915) https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/89279990
A unique feature of the "Eagle Rock" property is an old disused gold mine shaft, cut roughly 50* metres into a hill on the north-east side of the property. Easy to access and several metres in diameter, the old mine shaft could be used for a myriad of purposes including wine storage, general storage or functions.
