Please note the property is on the extremely fertile floodplain there are pros to this for all year round grass stock grazing and pasture growth. The stable block has been raised on a small mound and has flood mitigation works done and is easily managed to be flood safe and the property can be affected for about three days and waters recede quickly.

In the May 2025 flood event the stable block was protected by a small levee bank and no water entered the building providing safe keeping of cattle and horses during the significant local major flood. Surrounding areas were heavily impacted for a number of weeks however this property was the last to be affected and one of the first to drain and photographs are available of the incident to show the timeline which was three days in duration from start to finish.

If you are well planned the stables allow your stock to be exercised all year round no matter the weather due to the inside stock yard and horses kept in ultimate health out of the elements. The stable has LED lighting.

Having an abundance of infrastructure on the property and all commercial DA aspects approved this facility is waiting to make its mark on the industry and has a commercial following for arena hire and training.

Please note these photos were prior to the flood, the tenant is single and unable to manage the workload and maintenance due to ill health.

The price has been heavily reduced due to some minor aesthetic impacts by the tenant's cattle across the front of the property. Everything is able to be used and commercially operable at time of settlement.

The property is ready for occupation and trading and for the new owner's to put their mark on a stunning acerage.

This has been reduced below the surrounding market value to get it sold!
