Eccleston via East Gresford
572 acres $2.28 Million
Brae Allyn is located in a peaceful valley , renowned for the stunning scenery, productive country and high average rainfall.
A spectacular country lifestyle environment, and country retreat, with long frontage to the pristine Allyn River, where you can swim, fish, paddle , relax. There are many idyllic and private settings, swimming holes and picnic spots.
Pasture rises from river flats up to broad ridge lines, climbing to awe inspiring high country with breathtaking 360 degree mountain top views.
All improvements are of high standards with internal gravel roads, yards, sheds, fencing, 2 very large primary feed dams, hay barn, etc. having been constructed over the past 11 years with the significant residence extension and new pavilion for guest accommodation being built in the past 5 years.
The main residence is extensive and was designed to accommodate not only a large family but also a significant number of guests. It was constructed using timber materials that blend in with the natural environment, and includes a series of pavilions (connected with covered above ground walk ways). The main house includes a lounge room which is warmed by a large sandstone open fireplace, a modern and well appointed kitchen and dining area and a number of entertainment decks and verandas which overlook the farm to the Allyn River below.
Featuring
5 modern bedrooms (which are currently structured to sleep 13),
4 modern bathrooms,
interconnecting walkway, covered and well lit, between pavilions,
2 living areas, one of which is used as the main lounge with large sandstone fireplace and one which is used as television and entertainment area,
modern kitchen and dining area, BBQ Deck and various wide verandas,
fire pit in the open area between the pavilions which provides magnificent night time entertainment,
a sawn cut timber clad slat garage with three car bays, and storage area.
The internal gravel road network is in very good condition and services all the improvements including the main residence, huge colour bond maintenance and machinery shed, hay shed, stock yards, and provides easy access to the main dams, and the header tank that reticulates back to stock troughs.
The road traverses the ridges and takes you to the mountain top.
The scenery is exhilarating, with high hills rising around the property. The golden light of sunsets and sunrises, and mists when raining has to be seen to be believed.
The property has consistently run around 70-80 Angus breeders (with 3 bulls) producing a steady annual income from calf sales. The river flats and ridges have been pasture improved, and are well watered by 15 troughs, stock dams and 2 larger dams and river in an area with 42 inches average rainfall per annum.
Other features of the property include:
very well fenced, laneways to stock yards
heavy duty steel stock yards, with undercover vet crush, and scales
large colorbond shed with full width carport area for maintenance and machinery storage
large hay barn.
A high quality property with magnificent grounds, infrastructure and accommodation - a rare buying opportunity .
