HISTORIC EXTENSIVE GRAZING PROPERTY NOTED HOUSE AND GARDEN
Genuine opportunity to purchase and develop a significant Western Victorian property in the renowned Hawkesdale district awaits an astute buyer. Rich volcanic based soils and a largely clean slate will permit a rare opportunity to take Koonongal to a new level of performance assisted by high reliable winter rainfall and predominantly flat open arable country.
Koonongal has a 150 year family history, originally part of the Dunmore Run. It was selected for its great diversity and fertile nature, and for its natural water resources, with 2 semi permanent creeks. The farm has some permanent green flats which are heavy and black, some stony barriers but is largely open land suited to high intensity sheep and cattle grazing.
A classic red brick homestead (1940s) was constructed in grand style with genuine craftsmanship immediately post war. The home is original but remains a stately home of its era centred on a large central sitting room with clever Northerly aspect throughout the day. Of equivalent standard is a garden exhibiting 60 years of thoughtful and extensive development a real oasis and hidden gem. A second renovated weatherboard home of 3 bedrooms is delightfully finished for contemporary living and offers elevated rural views through a colourful & exciting garden.
Farm infrastructure, like the farm itself has opportunity for development. A large 4 stand woolshed is in good order but re establishment of sheep yards is required. Cattleyards are also large and functional.
A host of shedding for machinery, hay, stables, implements, workshop etc offer the full complement of facilities necessary, located in a sheltered compound to the rear of the homestead.
Koonongal has been run with conservative input and produced 450-500 weaner cattle annually from a herd of 570 cows and adult cattle plus 120 replacement heifers. There is a solid underlying productivity which can be built upon under a new ownership regime. Critical to this enterprise, water security is excellent from a combination of dams, underground water and 2 creeks.
A wonderful opportunity to purchase a large grazing holding in a key location at a responsible market price.
