Bendoc VIC 3888

Below the shed is a levelled house site ready for your dream home. This site provides excellent views over the property and across to Mount Delegate. With power running by, your new home could easily be connected to the existing power lines or alternatively run off-grid. A high-roof three bay open front shed (approximately 20 x 9m) to the south of the main shed is currently used to store feed and machinery, whilst a huge three bay shed (approximately 20 x 14m) to the north is currently utilised as horse stables but could suit a variety of purposes. A levelled and fenced horse arena (approx. 30 x 40m) is also close by, perfect for the horse enthusiasts whilst a well designed set of cattle yards, complete with Vet Crush, make handling cattle easier.

The property has excellent water security with seven dams on the property, two of which are spring fed. The Bendoc River also runs through the lower reaches of the property. The land has been mostly cleared, there is an excellent track network across the property and along most external fence lines and there is an almost unlimited supply of firewood on the property. Fencing is in near-new excellent condition with most featuring galvanised stays, galvanised star pickets and six plain wires including a single electrified wire. There are seven paddocks in total, allowing for seasonal stock rotation. Some re-seeding of 'Shining Gum' has occurred after harvesting of plantation stocks around twelve years ago. These could be used by the new owner or, subject to the necessary approvals, harvested by a commercial operator.

The children or grandchildren won't need their devices here and will enjoy every minute of exploring the property. For the avid four-wheel drivers, motorbike riders, horse riders and outdoor enthusiasts there are plenty of State Forests and National Parks in the region to explore. Sambar Deer regularly move through the property and deer hunting is permitted in thousands of acres of the neighbouring State Forest. The current owners have successfully fished for trout in the Bendoc River and in one of the dams on the property. A short drive will have you in southern NSW where the trout fishing meccas of lakes Jindabyne and Eucumbene await, along with the NSW snowfields. Saltwater fishing and boating options on the South Coast of NSW are around two hours' drive. The property is also home to native wildlife including Kangaroos, Wallabies, Lyrebirds, Bandicoots and Greater Gliders.

The township of Bendoc is around five kilometres drive on a sealed road. Here you will find the Bendoc Hotel, a great place to enjoy a meal and catch up with the locals. The school bus also leaves from Bendoc. For supplies that you can't grow on the property yourself, nearby Delegate has a variety of specialist stores and eateries whilst Bombala is the closest major rural centre, around forty-five minutes' drive where there is an IGA supermarket, doctor and a hospital. Cooma is around two hours drive for all the major supermarkets, whilst Canberra is around three hours' drive.
