Editorial summary

Forthcoming Auction on site on Friday 29 October at 11am
ELDORADO CLOSE TO TOWNSHIP ACREAGE SUITS FARM INTERESTS AND HAS READY TO BUILD LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY
Attractive acreage that offers a choice of farming or agri enterprise interests plus the opportunity to build a striking family home is creating plenty of interest for a parcel of land that sits on the outskirts of the noted Eldorado township in Victoria's north east
The property simply known as Cemetery Road Eldorado has an area of 76 hectares or 188 acres and it will be auctioned by Elders Real Estate of Wangaratta on site on Friday 29 October at 11 am.
The property is fenced into five paddocks and has been used by the vendor, who lives in the local Eldorado township, to run about 500 Fine Wool Merino sheep, but having reached a ripe old age of eighty three and after twenty two years of ownership of the block is selling to fully retire.
Elders Real Estate selling agent Michael Everard says the property will suit a range of enterprises as it has a good pasture mix that has been enhanced by regular superphosphate applications over many years.
Mr Everard says there are great views to the south and west across the Reids Creek valley and to the currently snow-capped alpine peaks in the distance.
The property has an attractive rolling landform with a couple of granite rock outcrops that add to its appeal.
There is a small bush block area of native forest of about sixteen hectares or forty acres with attractive tree lines present throughout the holding.
"This block is entitled to a building permit subject to application and there are many ideal home sites as the block is essentially south and west facing with great views,
The longest frontage of more than two kilometres is along the Cemetery Road which yes leads up to the local historic Eldorado cemetery.
The property has no current buildings except for a set of sheep yards and a grain silo.
It is well fenced with several livestock dams plus a bore that is equipped with a solar submersible pump which feeds about fifty gallons per hour to a pipe and trough system for livestock.
The vendor who installed the bore for his sheep says that its supply capacity is not fully tested and the original driller believed that if it was deepened beyond its existing relatively shallow depth a great supply of good quality would be found.
Mr Everard says "land offerings of this scale around the Eldorado township and within fifteen minutes of Wangaratta, Beechworth and all the other district townships are all too hard to find.
"I believe this auction provides a plum opportunity to buy a productive lifestyle and farming interest holding and to build a great family home here.
"I am expecting the pre-auction interest we are receiving at around $800,000 to be crystallised at the on-site auction.
"The successful purchaser will have plenty of options to configure this property to its best advantage and could also consider splitting off part of the holding as a value add option".
