RIVERGLEN, 107 ACRES OF PREDOMINANTLY LOAMY RIVER FLATS ONLY 12 MINUTES NORTH OF WANGARATTA
- circa 1980 Brick Veneer family home with numerous infrastructure features included to conclude long farmer ownership.
Leading north east rural property agents Elders Real Estate and Rodwells Ruralco Property in Wangaratta are combining as conjunctional agents to offer for sale the farm known as Riverglen at 1664 Yarrawonga to Wangaratta Road.
The local district is known as Killawarra with the property being only twelve minutes north of Wangaratta with Bundalong and the Murray River being a further twenty minutes distant.
The property is for genuine auction sale as the vendor John Cleal has recently retired into Wangaratta, after owning and farming here for forty three years.
The Riverglen property has a total area of just over 42 hectares (or 107 acres) and is held in two titles which adjoin and are judged as prime and highly productive Ovens River flats with red loam soils.
One title is the principal farm of 40.7 hectares and has an original farm cottage now of little value, the other is a small holding with area being a separate title of 1.674 hectares that includes the principle home.
Combined the two holdings give 900 metres of main bitumen road frontage with a school bus stop adjacent.
The property has numerous features and infrastructure included in the sale.
The buildings include a quality built circa 1980 brick veneer, tiled roof home with four bedrooms and sited in an attractive rural setting with excellent views over the adjoining creek and undulating countryside.
Known as the Boundary Creek to which Riverbend has a double frontage as it traverses the property it forms a reliable water source as an Ovens River tributary from which a total of 45 megalitres of water rights are held.
In addition, there is an equipped bore with a recently added electric pump providing high quality water and two wells.
On the creek is a fully equipped diesel engine and pump shed while the vendor is including in the sale a Southern Cross travelling irrigator.
The farm assets include significant shedding including a machinery shed, lock up workshop, old poultry sheds and a silo complex.
Vendor John Cleal for many years conducted a duck hatchery on the property servicing local restaurants.
He also grew Lucerne for many years using the irrigation facility.
The Riverglen property is subdivided into five paddocks that are well fenced, mostly concrete posts and electrified, with plenty of useable farm infrastructure including a set of Cyclone sheep yards and working cattle yards.
Elders selling agent Michael Everard says that the Riverbend auction brings a highly productive farm property to the market, as well as a great lifestyle opportunity for a family or hobby farming couple being so close to Wangaratta and all the other attractions of Victoria's north east.
"The family home is soundly built and with little work can be refurbished to modern comfort standards for a family, couple or lifestyle enjoyment.
"Then there is the significant water right and additional water resources which the purchaser can use to their advantage for any type or scale of rural enterprise.
