The Dungog district abounds in fertile and productive paddocks, but very few larger local properties are as conveniently located and well established as Pilchers.
Undulating over 1100 acres, yet less than 10 minutes to town, it's the perfect place to set up your cattle breeding enterprise and make your mark on the land. The property has been sensibly divided into large paddocks with a mix of open country and some protected hillsides. A committed pasture improvement program has been steadily increasing the yields of the kikuyu and native pastures for more than 15 years. Water security has always been a priority and Pilchers boasts a double frontage to the consistent Maxwell's creek, 7 dams and a gravity fed trough system to most of the paddocks. Being so close to Dungog township the property is also connected to town water.
Thanks to the quality pastures and secure water supply and high annual rainfall, the property has run more than 200 cows and calves. The infrastructure includes a series of easy to manage laneways for calm stock movements, well established steel yards able to manage large numbers of stock and two machinery sheds with ample space for farm equipment, hay and all your tools or toys!
But there's more to Pilchers than just productivity! Continue along the tree lined drive to the welcoming country home and you will find yourself on the prettiest point on the place. The homesite was strategically selected to showcase the best of the panoramic views from the wide verandahs, and romantic outdoor bath!
Nestled among simple easy to maintain gardens, the four-bedroom weatherboard home is the epitome of country charm with its central cosy fireplace, and certainly ready for easy rural living for any family.
With ever increasing demand for rural lifestyle lots in the lower Hunter Valley, Pilchers also has the chance to capitalise further on its magnificent location with a 7 x160 acre lot subdivision already approved for the property.
Either way, largescale and well run holdings like this are becoming rarer in this area, that is well regarded for cattle breeding and fattening. After a perfect winter with strong rainfall and a sure-thing spring just around the corner now is the perfect time to get into the cattle industry or add the perfect finishing property to your enterprise.
