Past Prime Ministers Property with Plenty of Options!
This unique property is located in the Rushworth-Echuca heart of Victoria's Goulburn Valley; the Food Bowl of Australia. The 50 acre (21 ha) farm has 2 homes and a 'stockman's cabin' to provide accommodation; a glorious garden and 12 well fenced paddocks.
Chilgala Farm started life as the home of Sir John and Lady McEwen (then plain John and Mary) in 1920 as a soldier settler's block. Sir John's political stature grew, firstly as the youngest federal parliamentarian of his time; then as the ferocious Black Jack, leader of the Country Party and Deputy Prime Minister, and briefly as Prime Minster when Harold Holt drowned. Sir John served for almost 40 years and as he did, he developed Chilgala Farm into the surprising and beautiful place it is today. (He eventually owned 22,000 acres).
The main house has 4 huge bedrooms and 3 bathrooms; an open plan kitchen with dishwasher, island bench and good storage, and delightful dining and living rooms.
The 'Gardeners' cottage has a further 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and along with the Stockmans cabin provides a unique bedsitting opportunity.
The rest of the 50 acres is well fenced enabling the farm to be vibrant, sustainable, organic and secure. Current owners are running spaces for Belted Galloways, Boer Goats, Black faced Suffolk, Alpacas, Geese and chickens (Who occupy the best chook run you have ever seen!)
There is around 35 million litres of water available to the property each year; 3 good dams and an extensive series of taps dot the inner paddocks. (Outer paddocks are used for winter rotation of the stock).
