RENOWNED 'BLACKFELLOWS CREEK'
PRODUCTIVE GRAZING COUNTRY WITH MACQUARIE RIVER FRONTAGE
40* km north of Bathurst, mostly by sealed bitumen road (all but 1 km). It is 200*km and three hours' drive from Sydney and 35 mins from Bathurst.
COUNTRY: Ranging from gently undulating to hilly, the property is virtually all cleared but for shade and shelter trees, predominantly kurrajong and eucalypt. Soil types are derived mainly from diorite and slate and 200* acres is arable. Pastures have been nurtured and top dressed over many years and generally consist of clovers and native grasses.
WATER: The property is well-watered with 1.5km frontage to the Macquarie River as well as Blackfellows Creek, which runs through its full length. In addition there are 5 dams and one reliable shallow bore. Current owners have never run out of water. Average annual rainfall of the property is 650*mm
IMPROVEMENTS: 4 bedroom brick and aluminum clad house, set beside the creek in a treed garden enclosure with ornamental and productive fruit trees. The house is currently lived in but will need some work going forward. Rainwater tanks provide water to the house. Garden water comes from the bore. Further improvements include a small machinery shed, 3 stand shearing shed, steel cattle yards with cattle/sheep loading facility.
FENCING: Subdivided into six main, roughly equal sized paddocks with several smaller paddocks. Boundary and internal fencing is in generally good stockproof condition.
This property has been held by the same family for over 50 years, running a sheep and cattle grazing enterprise, and during which time it typically ran 4,000 DSE or more. For many years, pastures benefitted from regular fertiliser application, and clovers and some perennial grasses have been applied. Diligent tussock control is evident on inspection. Although currently almost completely destocked, the property has shown in the past to be equally suitable for breeding sheep or cattle and it could be run as either a full-time or part-time farm. Furthermore, it has good frontage to the Macquarie River and double frontage to The Bridle Track, potentially lending itself to subdivision.
BLACKFELLOWS CREEK will be offered for sale by Public Auction at 10.30am on Thursday 18th November 2021.
