REMARKS: This rare offering has been held by the same family for over 150 years, during which time it has operated as part of a well known and profitable cattle crazing operation. Most of the property is typical of the type of country that the Mandurama area is well known for some of the best cattle country in the Central Tablelands region. Being mostly arable, the property provides versatility and would be suited to either farming or grazing - cattle or prime lamb enterprises. The homestead is a real bonus for those who appreciate a quality, older home with presence there is certainly scope to turn it into the showpiece that it would originally have been, with period outbuildings in original condition. This property is offered for genuine sale, and provides a great opportunity to purchase in a tightly held part of the Central Tablelands.
