1259 McKillops Road Bonang VIC 3888

Have you ever dreamt of escaping the hustle and bustle to your very own property in the High Country? Not far from the NSW border, in the tightly held Bonang area of East Gippsland is “Singing Stones”, a gem of nearly thirty acres of open farmland just waiting for its new owner. What's more the property has an existing two-bedroom home and shedding!

The off-grid home, thought to be constructed in the 1970's, is of rammed earth construction with galvanised roof and features two bedrooms, one with a loft. There is a generous sized lounge with a slow combustion wood heater and a huge combined kitchen and dining area complete with walk in pantry and gas and wood fired cooking. A sunroom to the eastern side of the home lets in plenty of natural light thanks to the angled windows. The sunroom also contains a hidden shower over bath.

Access to the property is off the well-maintained McKillops Road with the scenic driveway crossing the bank of a huge dam on the property. This dam has been used to gravity feed water to the gardens surrounding the home. There is also over half a kilometre of frontage to the Jingalala River where there is the right to pump water for stock and domestic use. A petrol driven pump is included with the sale along with existing piping to the water tank near the home.

Two horse stables are perfect for the horse lover whilst there is also a small adjoining shed and a triple carport. The property comprises around five paddocks and there is direct access to a reserve along Warm Corners Track, perfect for horse riders wishing to avoid the main road. An additional fenced off area below the home has previously been used to grow vegetables.

Telstra 4G reception is available across most of the property but 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 the nearby Snowy River National Park has been recently been opened to seasonal Sambar Deer hunting, thus increasing the local hunting opportunities!

There are known to be Trout in the Jingalala River whilst 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 and a half hours drive.

For supplies that you can't grow, raise or harvest on the property yourself, nearby Delegate is around forty minutes' drive. Delegate has a cafe, farm supplies, a hotel, General Store and a Primary School which services Bonang. Bombala is the closest major rural centre, around an hour's drive where there are two supermarkets, a doctor, hospital and a High School. Cooma is around two hours' drive for all the major supermarkets, whilst Canberra is around three hours' drive.
