Once the heart of a sprawling pastoral holding, "Annadale" is offered for sale for the first time in over 140 years.
History is evident at every turn, from the majestic river red gums to the iconic shearing shed, hay shed and machinery sheds. There's also a charming two bedroom, two bathroom cottage that could serve as a weekender while you build your dream home or convert the shearing shed to a unique dwelling or function centre (STCA).
Nestled on the picturesque Sugarloaf Creek and with the seasonal Pound Creek running through it, the property consists of 18.18 hectares (44.92 acres) of gently undulating, well drained soils with improved pastures of phalaris, sub clovers and rye grass.
The property is divided into seven paddocks according to soil types which range from alluvial flats to rich volcanic rises.
The Sugarloaf Creek provides a permanent water supply and a stock and domestic pumping right. The Pound Creek flows seasonally but retains lagoons for most of the year. Three dams provide further water security.
The infrastructure at "Annadale" once supported the shearing of 12,000 sheep per annum and includes a shearing shed, undercover sheep yards, 8000 bale hayshed, machinery sheds, double garage/workshop, dog pens, grain silos, chicken run and 20 KL underground well.
There's also a one hectare red gum woodlot planted 15 years ago to provide a source of firewood for future generations and access to the property is via a sealed road.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a picturesque creekside holding. Create the country lifestyle of your dreams and still be within easy reach of Melbourne.
