Exceptional Blue-Ribbon Grazing Properties Offering Scale, Quality Infrastructure and Lifestyle Excellence

'Rosewhite Park' 829 Carrolls Road, Rosewhite - Blue ribbon grazing with a showpiece homestead.

Set in a tightly held valley between Myrtleford and Bright, the home block delivers scale and reliability. About 150.25 hectares or 371.2 acres form the heart of an aggregation of approximately 235.34 hectares.

The layout is practical and efficient with 29 paddocks linked by central laneways and top-quality post and wire fencing throughout and 95% electrified on for added stock security.

Water is a standout with the permanent Jacksons Creek in the landscape supported by dams including spring fed sources that reticulate and are then fed by gravity to troughs across the farm.

Pasture performance is first rate. Mixed plantings of clover ryegrass and Phalaris are supported by a consistent program of around 200 kilograms per hectare of fertiliser each year to drive dependable growth and consistent turn off.

Cattle handling is first class in new ProWay steel yards under a 175m2 roof with crush and scales and roofed concrete working areas that keep the job safe and clean. ProWay steel cattle yards provide industry-recognised safety and stock flow, with quality rail profiles and gate catches, and the option for curved or adjustable races to speed drafting and reduce stress on cattle and operators.

Sheds are extensive, including at the house a 12m x 12m general purpose shed with concrete floor and power plus a 6 x 12m awning with concrete floor, at the working area a 15 x 24 x 5m lockup machinery shed with concrete floor and 2 hay sheds each 9m x 18m.

The homestead is a statement of comfort and country style. Built around 1999 and upgraded in 2019 to about 400m2 under roof, it features a blue stone feature and full height glazing that frames long valley views to the visible snow caps in winter. Everyday living flows from a generous kitchen to relaxed dining and lounge spaces which benefit from under floor heating and large combustion fire box for winter comfort. Then out to deep verandas established gardens and a 9 x 4.5m inground pool with adjoining fire and conversation pit. The double garage has oversized doors, polished concrete floor and evaporative cooling, it sits beside a fully fitted office with split system heating and cooling and high-speed internet. Services include 3 x 22,500 litre PolyMaster tanks for domestic storage, solar hot water with gas booster to the main house and gas instantaneous hot water to the laundry and mudroom, along with two Daikin reverse cycle systems. A separate managers cottage adds accommodation for staff or guests.

Fertile red loam soils and an average annual rainfall of about 1100mm underpin the farms capability. This is premium Rosewhite grazing beautifully maintained and genuinely ready to keep producing at scale, only about eight kilometres to Myrtleford and twenty kilometres to Bright.

Highly capable and very well-presented grazing in 10 paddocks on Happy Valley Creek

The companion parcel of approximately 85.1 hectares / 210.2 acres carries the same attributes of good management and planning. Gently undulating country with Happy Valley Creek in the landscape and public road access from Brownes Lane and McCormacs Lane creates an easy platform to run cattle efficiently. Paddocks are neatly subdivided and linked by formed tracks. Water security is strong with dams feeding a solar pump to poly tanks then reticulated to troughs.

Improvements include an 8m x 12m open front machinery shed, an 8m x 6m lockup workshop with concrete floor and power, and steel cattle yards with loading ramp.

Soils are predominantly red loams within the Farming Zone, and the district again enjoys an average annual rainfall close to one thousand one hundred and six millimetres. Under optimal management the CSIRO modelled potential carrying capacity is strong at about 17.1 DSE per hectare.

Soils and Productivity for 829 Carrolls Rd and 164 Brownes Lane, Rosewhite

Detailed soil profile and why the country performs -

Red Chromosols approx 88 %
Deep well drained duplex soils with fertile topsoils and responsive subsoils. Excellent for improved perennial pastures including ryegrass clover and phalaris with strong winter carrying and reliable trafficability.

Brown Kandosols approx 10 %
Uniform friable profiles with good rooting depth and moisture storage. Well suited to grazing and fodder conservation.

Red Kurosols approx 2 %
Minor occurrences on rises. More acidic subsoils that are readily managed within a standard fertility program with lime as needed. Still productive under improved pasture.

Terrain and climate factors
Average slope about 3.16 percent which is easy working country. Average elevation about 317 metres. Average annual rainfall about 1,106 millimetres which supports dependable cool season growth. The holdings are overwhelmingly used for grazing of modified pastures about 94 percent which aligns the natural resource base with the current enterprise.

Proven and modelled productivity

Potential carrying capacity CSIRO modelled
About 17.1 DSE per hectare across the non-forested land about 213 hectares which equates to about 3,649 DSE total or about 456 Adult Equivalents. This validates the capacity of the country under optimal management.

On farm performance
Vendors report about 220 breeders comfortably supported with consistent hay and silage production whilst running calves through to 500kg. Fertiliser is applied at about 200 kilograms per hectare each year and around 100 acres is over sown annually to maintain pasture density and quality.

Pasture base
Predominantly clover ryegrass and phalaris matching the rainfall soils and fertility strategy noted above.

Water and layout
A central laneway system supported by quality post and wire fencing with electric add ons, and gravity fed troughs from well sited dams and tanks underpin labour efficiency pasture utilisation and animal performance.

What this means for a buyer

A blue-chip grazing platform with fertile Red Chromosols dominant reliable rainfall and workable country that delivers predictable pasture growth and efficient conversion to beef. The current management system fertiliser oversowing fodder program laneways fencing and water translates the natural advantages into the current carrying of around 220 breeders with scope to optimise toward the modelled potential of 240 breeders.

Taken together Carrolls Road and Brownes Lane form a blue ribbon Rosewhite aggregation of scale fertility and presentation. Every element reflects careful stewardship from water and working infrastructure to comfortable living spaces, all set in one of Northeast Victorias most admired valleys.
