Property is equally suited to yearling, spelling, lucerne or cattle. Lands comprise alluvial loam terraces having a frontage to both the Hunter and Goulburn Rivers, the latter providing a constant source for a 271-megalitre licence and a Perpetual licensed bore. Approximately 120 acres are irrigated, the balance being dryland grazing. 8 km of post, rail and netted fencing with electric top and standoff wires provides for secure and generous runs. The majority of paddocks are serviced with shelters and all have trough watering. Irrigation hydrants are located in each paddock and holding areas. The farm has a central laneway system enabling stock to be moved with minimal staff and animal stress. Horse facilities include a floodlit night foaling area adjacent to undercover mare and foal crush surrounded by numerous yards, including loading bay and arrival/departure yards. The separate 3-box breezeway barn has a wash bay and is located centrally in the property, with an outdoor mare & foal crush. Isolation paddocks are separated by established native tree lanes. The machinery shed/workshop has a separate feed preparation and storage area adjoining, all have concrete floors. The current owners also run both commercial and stud cattle, which are serviced by new cattle yards and crush. The recently completed Brick Homestead features contemporary open plan design, reverse cycle ducted air conditioning with 4 bedrooms all with BIR, the main with WIR and ensuite, a double garage and post and rail netted fences. Staff cottage has three bedrooms, reverse cycle air conditioning and slow combustion fire. The adjacent double garage has single self-contained quarters with reverse cycle air conditioning. Owners have put "heart and soul" into making this horse farm a well designed development. A purchaser will enjoy a "new" development, the hard work is completed, establishment costs to their benefit.
