One of Victoria's premier rural holdings situated in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Offering 138 hectares (341 acres) of pristine, gently undulating country with world-class infrastructure for a beef breeding enterprise that is complemented by a remarkable, highly considered contemporary residence.
Boasting approximately 1.3 kilometres of Yarra River frontage and a significant frontage to St Hubert's Road, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial flexible holding, benefiting from some of the finest and most productive Yarra River soils in the region.
