Water Security:
Water security is a key feature of Benalla, with 1km of frontage to Saumarez Creek and an associated 4-megalitre irrigation licence.

Several dams across the property provide additional reserves of water to the paddocks.
Grazing & Infrastructure:
The property's 140 acres are primarily improved pasture, with perennial grasses and clovers. A strong fertiliser history underpins a high level of grazing production. The land has been carefully managed to support a beef backgrounding operation, with capacity for approximately 70 feeder steers.
Notable structural improvements include:
A 4-bay car shed with two electric roller doors, power, and lighting.
A 3-bay steel hayshed with an enclosed workshop and full-length skillion.
Sturdy steel cattle yards, complete with a heavy-duty vet crush and trough water.
Substantial fencing improvements, with excellent condition of internal and boundary fences following recently completed works.
The property is subdivided into five main paddocks, connected by a central laneway that leads to smaller holding paddocks and stockyards.

Benalla provides an ideal mix of rural living and proximity to the amenities of Armidale, making it a rare and desirable offering. The well-appointed home, productive grazing, functional infrastructure, and extensive water supply set this property apart, creating a perfect balance for those seeking a rural lifestyle with modern conveniences.
