Situated in the Belltrees area east of Scone in a pristine part of the Upper Hunter Valley, Mandalea was originally part of the historic Belltrees Station. For those motivated by investment upside opportunity or building efficiencies of scale this property should be worthy of serious consideration. Where else can you buy quality country in this prime location for $2000 + per Acre?
Approximately 3443 Ac/ 1393 Hectares. Sheltered valleys balanced by slopes and hilly grazing country. Approximately 350 Acres of arable valley floor and slopes with further potential. Historically used for both beef cattle breeding and fattening and wool production.
Diverse improvements to suit sheep and cattle operations (steel cattleyards and 3 stand woolshed and sheep yards). Fencing on the property is generally in fair to good stock proof condition with extensive boundary fencing replaced (with exclusion fencing).
Accommodation on Mandalea includes a comfortable brick home with the following features:
- Air conditioning and wood heater
- 4 bedrooms
- Modern bathroom
- Guazed in verandah
A second older home is suited to staff or guest accommodation however attention will need to be paid to bring this up to standard.
A balance of natural, and pumped water via a bore and solar pump on the Hunter River (via easement), running water via the Donalds Creek and 21 dams.
With bypasses budgeted for Singleton and Muswellbrook (works commencing in 2023), locations such as this will become much closer to both the coast and metro areas. Combine this with other significant capital works (Scone main Street redevelopment, Scone Race Club development) in the Upper Hunter and the potential in this pristine area is very positive.
