History is evident at every turn, starting with the majestic old growth Pine trees and old dwellings, that would have been around when Ned Kelly made his way through this Creek after his legendary Euroa bank withdrawal.
The aspect of the house, creek, sheds and existing old trees opens up a vast area of stunning gully landscape around the existing homestead. The area around the house and gully is ideal for deciduous Canadian and Japanese Maples, Ashes, or any of the spectacular trees that are colorful in Autumn. Trees which do brilliantly at the ideal altitude and proper seasonal changes of the Strathbogie tabletop, and ideal in Winter.
The altitude and clear air of this property is ideally suited for brilliant night skies that are truly incredible without surrounding city light. The altitude also offers the advantage of cooler nights in Summer. From interesting old stands of majestic stringy bark trees, breaking the interesting rolling meadow acreage, the sheltered spring areas, water pools and cascades of the creek, to the iconic shearing shed shaded by the huge trees as well as the historic bakery, original post office dating back to the 1880's, there really is a lot of old-time history for a farm of this acreage.
This property is also well placed on the Range being protected by most weather ideal for grazing. The historic positioning of the housing makes sense and offers real shelter from hot summer weather and other seasonal issues.
Conveniently situated with bitumen road frontage just 15 minutes from Violet town, 25 minutes from Euroa, just over 2 hours from Melbourne & only a short drive to many local attractions.
