Nestled amongst Gippsland farmland in undulating woody grassland close to the townships of Maffra (10 minutes) and Newry (8 minutes) with the Macalister River valley to the south and the Avon Wilderness to the north, this 16Ha (40ac) rural block has 15.75Ha protected in perpetuity via a Trust for Nature covenant leaving a 0.25Ha domestic envelope (STCA).
Ancient Forest Redgums and Red Box trees tower over regenerating saplings and diverse understory scattered liberally throughout native grasses, including Themeda, Poa, Microlena, Dichelachne, and flowers including Diuris and Sun orchids, Milkmaids, Bulbine, Chocolate and Vanilla Lilies.
A well vegetated small dam accommodates a large wetland community and the land abounds with insect, bird and reptilian life as well as smaller native mammals such as ring-tailed possums, sugar gliders, bush rats, wombats and occasionally kangaroos.
A 6m x 10m partly enclosed zincalume shed with concrete floor provides runoff rain water stored in a 25000lt poly tank providing the perfect place to store tools and a great base for camping.
This very picturesque setting with views to the Great Dividing Range offers those interested in conserving natural ecosystems and a love for nature the opportunity to steward a diminishing landscape ensuring these vulnerable and endangered ecosystems do not disappear forever.
