COMMENTS:
Typical of the Nullawarre district, very safely held country illustrated by the fact that lot 2 was settled by the vendor family in 1868 and boasts over 5 generations of family ownership. Lot 1 has had the same family ownership for around 70 years. Ideally suited as a small intensive dairy farm as a whole, or alternatively, lot 1 offers the opportunity of a semi- sustainable small beef and dairy input property, well situated to all centers, whilst lot 2 offers a very hard to find and rare, totally arable out paddock in a blue ribbon area.
