River frontage, mountain views, multiple income streams
"Franklin Park Farm," a rare gem comprising approximately 172.4 acres across five lots, is on the market for the first time in over 70 years. This extraordinary property, steeped in history with a rich tapestry of tales from gold rush days, pioneers and the water race. Nestled amidst the mountain range and bordered by the pristine waters of both the Franklin and Little Franklin Rivers, this is your chance to secure a truly special slice of nature. With over a kilometre of river frontage, rocky pools inhabited by platypus and trout. Well-maintained bush tracks invite exploration, camping, and wildlife spotting in your own private sanctuary.
Around 40 hectares of cleared, sheltered pasture provide ample grazing land, with undulating to steep terrain fenced into seven paddocks plus a dedicated bull paddock. The farm is set up for mixed grazing with the capacity for 30 head of cattle plus calves. Supporting infrastructure includes a 4-bay machinery/shearing shed, 4-bay hay shed, stock yards, race, and a circular driveway with plenty of flat parking space. The property boasts exceptional water security, with a river licence, six dams, troughs, and an impressive annual rainfall (1130mm).
The long access track leads to a private, comfortable three-bedroom cottage, offering stunning rural vistas that stretch to Mount Squaretop, Mount Fatigue, and the surrounding farmland and forest. The cottage is perfect as a farm stay or guest accommodation, adding yet another potential income stream. Additionally, 19 hectares of Shining Gum plantation are ready for harvest or to retain and enjoy. Whether you're looking for a full-time farming operation, a recreational escape, or a unique investment opportunity, "Franklin Park Farm" offers it all. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Foster and Toora, with a school bus service at the end of the driveway, this property is a blend of rural tranquility and practical accessibility.
