Established in 1993 as a premium breeding kennel and lifestyle property, Billabong Creek Farm is now on the market for the first time in 30 years. This magnificent 50-acre (approximate) property, nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, offers a unique blend of serene rural living and lucrative income potential. Perfect for those yearning for a new adventure or looking to upscale their current lifestyle, this property presents endless opportunities.

Location and Lifestyle: Situated just 10 minutes from the charming village of Gormandale, and centrally located between the larger regional centers of Traralgon, Yarram, and Sale, the property provides convenient access to all the necessary services. The local primary school, sporting clubs, and community activities in Gormandale offer plenty of options for family engagement and recreation.

Versatile and lucrative Farming Potential: Over the years, the current owners have developed a highly successful business model, utilising the property for cattle, kennels, and horse training. The solid steel-framed stable/shelters, complete with a training arena, make this an ideal home for families with horses or ponies. Ride safely through the property or explore the Mullundung State Forest, located on the east boundary of the property.

Natural Beauty and Wildlife Haven: The land's undulating terrain is well-sheltered from prevailing weather patterns and boasts rich, fertile soils ideal for natural grasses, rye, and clover. A semi-permanent creek on the eastern perimeter, fully fenced to restrict stock access, creates a private wildlife haven. Bird enthusiasts, photographers, and nature lovers will delight in the abundance of native species, including birds, marsupials, echidnas, wombats, and possums. Majestic gum trees, over a century old, and towering tree ferns provide a stunning natural backdrop. The generous dams, fed by springs, ensure a reliable water supply, almost drought-proofing the property.
