With infrastructure, water supply and pastures of a high standard, "Coolong" presents a rare opportunity.
This is a highly desirable opportunity to purchase a lifestyle location that is set up for cattle grazing and production.
Access is via a long tree lined driveway to an architect designed western red cedar home set majestically on the banks of the broken river.
THE HOME:
It is a home of great character that is designed to allow you to be immersed in the nature that surrounds you.
Every window has a view (even the spa).
The home contains four large bedrooms with the master including both a walk in robe and en-suite.
The study could serve as a 5th bedroom should the need arise.
Comfort is maintained throughout the year via separate air condition systems covering the different zones of the house.
Ensure your special bottles of wine are kept at the ideal temperature in the cellar beneath the home.
The multiple living entertaining areas are really special and include areas both inside and outside all overlooking the river and the property's park like gardens.
The immediate surrounds offer substantial grassed areas which include a floodlit croquet lawn, orchard, vineyard and established mature garden all watered by a semi automatic system.
It is truly set up as a place to work, rest or play.
THE FARM:
The property consists of 229 acre of sandy loam over friable clay subsoil.
Regular soil testing has been conducted and an outstanding pasture and fertiliser program undertaken over recent years.
The property is split into 9 paddocks each with stock water via gravity fed troughs and dams within them.
The fencing and Cattle handling facilities are all first rate with yards and a new crush recently updated.
Shedding/outbuildings consist of a large 18x12m colorbond barn with power and concrete floor.
Machinery is stored in a separate four bay 6x24m open front shed.
The rainfall for the area is 876mm/ year
In addition the property has two water rights out of the river being 10meg of high reliability water and 2meg low reliability water.
This farm is ideal to run a good number of cattle or for those with an equine interest.
Centrally located between Benalla and the popular township of Mansfield and its extensive leisure activities this property is still within easy striking distance of Melbourne.
