Lot 12F & 12G, 161 Minchins Track, Bonang VIC 3888

Have you dreamt of escaping the rate race to your very own private getaway where you are surrounded by nature instead of neighbours? Well dream now longer. Lots 12F and 12G 'Rising Sun' are part of a much larger land holding in the tightly held Bonang region. These lots total around 299 acres and are being offered to market for the very first time.

The gently undulating landholding is located around 1800 metres off the sealed Bonang Road and is zoned 'Farming 1' with a dwelling entitlement under the planning scheme. The area has a history of gold mining and there was a discovery at the nearby 'Rising Sun Reef' circa 1868. The reef was believed to be mined until around 1874. Previously the property was selectively logged, and areas of scattered trees and some undergrowth remain along with numerous open sections that could be further improved for livestock grazing.

At the main entry to the property there is a large open area that could be suited to the development of a home (STCA) and shedding. There is good soil in the area with the highest point of the property thought to be a long extinct Volcano. You could plant your very own orchard whilst, with some fencing, there would be the opportunity to run some cattle, a few horses or engage in a variety of horticultural pursuits. There is an almost unlimited supply of firewood on the property, perfect to keep you warm during the cooler months. Goongerah Creek starts it's journey south from the property so good access to good water shouldn't be an issue whether it be a bore or a dam!

There are access tracks through and alongside the property and some external fencing. Sambar Deer are known to regularly move through the property whilst it also borders the Snowy River National Park to the East and West. This National Park has recently been opened to Sambar Deer hunting, thus increasing hunting opportunities in the area.

Telstra 4G reception is available across most of the property to help to keep you connected however the children or grandchildren won't need their devices here! They will enjoy every minute of exploring this beautiful property. For the avid four-wheel drivers, motorbike riders, horse riders, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts there are plenty of State Forests, National Parks and Rivers in the region to explore.

A short drive from the property 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 whilst the seaside village of Marlo is a bit over an hour and a half's drive.
