"Annadale"
Once the heart of a sprawling pastoral holding, "Annadale" is nestled beside the picturesque Sugarloaf Creek and accessed via a sealed road.
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 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).
As well as backing onto the Sugarloaf Creek the property has the seasonal Pound Creek running through it and consists of 18.18 hectares (44.92 acres) of gently undulating, well drained soils.
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 and a new 280K litre water tank provide further water security and there are gravity-fed troughs to paddocks.
The infrastructure at "Annadale" once supported the shearing of 12,000 sheep per annum and includes a shearing shed, stables with power connected, undercover sheep yards, 8000 bale hayshed, machinery sheds, double garage/workshop, dog pens, grain silos, and chicken run.
There's also a one-hectare red gum woodlot planted 17 years ago to provide a source of firewood for future generations.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a peaceful and picturesque creek-side holding within easy reach of Melbourne.
