Unique Rural Property For Sale NSW Southern Tablelands

Rural Property For Sale NSW Suitable For Farming, Lifestyle + Subdivision

‘Maxville’ presents a unique opportunity to secure ownership of a reliable mixed farming property situated in the highly sought-after Southern Tablelands region of NSW, suited to farm production, lifestyle and subdivision.

Strategically located on the eastern side of The Great Dividing Range, close to the major city centres of Goulburn (23km) and Canberra (84km), this rural property for sale comprises approximately 323.8 hectares (800 acres) consisting of near level to gently undulating creek flats transitioning to arable alluvial farming country through the central and southern sections, and low-rise hills.

This rural property for sale NSW is ideally suited to farm production, lifestyle and subdivision

The balance of the country to the east and south-east is moderately undulating with heavier stands of native Eucalypts, timber shade and shelter trees ideal for lambing or calving.

With approximately 194 hectares suitable for farming and grazing, ‘Maxville’ has significant scope for further development and improvement towards more intensive cropping and increased stocking rates. The property currently has an estimated carrying capacity of 150 cow and calf equivalents (assuming regular fertiliser applications) and 2,250 DSE (Dry Sheep Equivalents).

Underpinned by good shale to granite loams in the main sections of the holding, with some quartz and shale outcrops, a high percentage of the property is deemed arable. Fertiliser and lime have been applied to many of the improved paddocks in the northern and central areas of the holding.

What’s more, the region is regarded as one of the more reliable rainfall areas in the northern part of the Southern Tablelands, with average annual rainfall topping around 700mm.

This rural property for sale NSW benefits from high rainfall plus 16 excavated dams and creek water running through the holding

Additional water security is provided by 16 main excavated dams, many of which are spring fed, and water from the permanent Bangalore Creek upper northern tributaries.

Further working improvements include fit-for-purpose fencing suited to the existing sheep and cattle enterprises, multi-purpose woolshed and workshop, hay/machinery shed, cattle yards, sheep yards and a silo.

‘Maxville’ also offers prospective buyers an undercapitalised investment with the future opportunity should they wish to renovate and extend the historic stone structure while having all the modern conveniences of an existing transportable home which will stay with the sale of the property. Electricity is available along with the option for fully self-sufficient off-grid living.

Enhancing its appeal, the property – spread across four freehold titles – also presents subdivisional potential in an area in high demand from lifestyle buyers from nearby city localities such as Sydney and Canberra.

Under Goulburn Mulwaree’s present Local Environmental Plan (LEP), subdivision in most rural areas (including the subject land) is permissible down to 100 hectares (or 250 acres). This could include three lots of 100+ hectares – or alternatively under lot averaging provisions, two smaller lots of 10 hectares and a larger lot of 294 hectares.

While this is down on the previously allowable 10 hectares (25 acres), there is an argument, especially given the present housing crisis, that subdivisional lot sizes for rural land should be reduced to these older guidelines to help cater for demand, however that has not occurred at this time.
