Truly exceptional.
Agent Pat Rice & Hawkins is offering the 60 hectare (150 Acre) property at 546 Ghin Ghin Road, in the Yea district, for Private Sale with a significant price expectation.
The acreage size which is largely serviced by a perimeter electric fence allows 75 cattle to be run. The paddocks slope from the long bitumen road frontage gently up to the top of a prominent ironstone ridge where the house and its adjacent guest house is situated. Their location is critical because both have been built in cantilevered steel and concrete to face the property's two kilometre long frontage to the Goulburn River.
Both the buildings with a combined building area of 278 sqm face to the north east and provide a spectacular aspect across the highly productive Gouburn River flats and to the surrounding Strathbogie Ranges and the nearby village of Yea.
The stylish main house was designed by Sydney based architect Andrew Nolan and completed in 2005. It is sited in a position where it is not visible from the road while its position also protects it from any prevailing winds which are in the southwest quarter.

There is also a separate cool room and the building has underfloor heating as well as a Cheminnees Phillipe fireplace and reverse cycle heating and cooling.

It features two double bedrooms each with their own ensuite with a smaller bunk room together with a small practical kitchen and living area. All rooms also have reverse cycle heating and cooling units. The owners of the property say the guest house was constructed for family accommodation but its use in the future could be as a self contained bed and breakfast or for similar overflow or visitor use.
Water resources are also a feature of Ghin Ghin Ridge as the property has a two megalitre stock and domestic water allocation from the Goulburn River with a Hatz diesel pump that supplies one of three 23,000 litre water tanks.
River water is used for garden irrigation and low level internal needs including toilet flushing while two rainwater tanks also each 23,000 litres harvest the domestic water needs. There are also two farm dams for the livestock of 3 & 4 megalitr...
