Productive Grazing Land & Secure Water

A smaller paddock has successfully supported fodder cropping, most recently Rye Corn and Red Clover. Sheep yards remain operational.

Water security is a standout feature, with an equipped bore connected to mains power as well as a second equipped bore, seasonal Two Mile Creek forming the northern boundary, and the Turon River defining the southern boundary - highly sought-after attributes for rural land buyers in Central NSW.

- Bushwalking and trail riding
- 4WD and outdoor adventure
- Nature conservation and wildlife viewing
- Private camping and family retreats

The property sits within historic Turon goldfields country, with visible mullock heaps, old shafts, and a clearly defined Chinese Water Race, adding heritage character and interest for history enthusiasts.
