Molong, Central West NSW

3 1 2

A highly productive property located on a flood free portion of the beautiful Bell River an easy drive from Molong and the major regional centre of Orange. This 196* hectare – 485* acre - property lends itself to most rural pursuits with the bonus of an approved subdivision of two allotments (available as a whole or separately with contingencies). Properties of this size and scope rarely enter the market and has only become available due to the vendors impending retirement.
A property that has benefitted from substantial improvements to infrastructure, accommodation, water, fences, and pastures in recent years and now offers an opportunity to secure a high quality mixed farming opportunity.

Accommodation:
The spacious two storey homestead residence has been very well maintained (including new paint) and partly renovated and consists of 3 bedrooms, formal lounge/dining, family/dining, large kitchen and a renovated bathroom, and benefits from an 8.4* kW solar system
Adjacent to the main homestead is a 6 x 6* metre double garage and the original 1916* Pise homestead which offers a further 3 bedrooms, lounge, laundry, and bathroom; and has been re-roofed and has new carpet and paint.
The homesteads are set within very well kept gardens which enjoy established trees, flower gardens, shrubberies, and a small olive grove all with picturesque views of the surrounding area.
Approx. 1km from the main homestead is another cottage consisting of 3 bedrooms, lounge, family room, kitchen and sunroom. The cottage has new paint, carpet, and a 6 x 6* metre lockable shed with concrete floor and a 22,000* litre rainwater tank. Currently tenanted at $270 per week with an excellent tenant.

The Farm:
A short stroll from the homestead are the outbuildings and other assorted rural infrastructure. The main structures are a new (2022) 20 x 15* metre 3 bay steel frame machinery shed plus another 20 x 10* metre steel frame shed (2016) which is 1/3 shearing shed (one stand) and 2/3 hayshed. Both have respective 32,000* litre and 9,000* litre rainwater tanks.
Adjoining the shearing shed are steel sheep yards and nearby are another timber frame 2 bay machinery shed, steel cattle yards, a near new (2016) 50* tonne HE silo, an old piggery, and a 135,000* litre stock water tank (2016).
The property has been sub-divided into 10 main paddocks and is currently carrying approx 600 large framed ewes and their progeny, however, would be equally well suited to cattle with areas also suited to broadacre or fodder cropping. Fences across the property range from new to sound, with a stretch of exclusion fencing along one boundary.
Pastures are a mix of improved and well maintained natives with a strong blend of lucerne, rye, clover, and phalaris supported by fertile basalt soils and a solid fertilser history. Livestock enjoy scattered native timber as well as shelter belts of Eucalyptus and other native species.
Water is now a feature of the property and can be sourced for stock and domestic purposes from the Bell River, one of 2 new (2017 and 2022) solar bores, or 5 dams (one with a permanent spring). All paddocks have access to at least one water point, be it trough, dam, or both and are backed up by an average rainfall around 25 to 27* inches per annum.
The sub-division plans have also been registered and approved by council to allow for the property to be sold in 2 portions in the future. Each portion has accommodation and outbuildings, easy road access, and a solar equipped bore. The property is being sold as a whole; however, the vendors will entertain a sub-divided sale with contingencies.

Summary:
A top class property, in a sought after district located 17*km north east of Molong, 46*km north west of Orange, and 300*km from Sydney. A property worthy of inspection and well suited to a range agricultural pursuits including, but not limited to, stud and commercial sheep and cattle as well as farming enterprises such as winter cereals.
