960 Bunnan Road

Scone NSW 2337

Area: 426.23 ha ( 1053 acres ) zoned RU4 Small lot, Primary Production with 5 separate titles.

The property ranges from alluvial river flats with self-mulching brown and black soils, through to soft undulating loams, plus some gravel areas, especially useful when wet. The fertile river flats provide excellent cultivation capabilities.

There is a 48 MEG WAL from the Dartbrook. The irrigation was used extensively by the previous dairy farmer. More recently, the property was rented for a couple of decades and the tenant did not use the irrigation. A new owner will need to design the irrigation to suit his/ her needs.

Stock and domestic water is supplied from a solar equipped bore. Also, water can be pumped from the Dartbrook creek, using the existing electricity and pipeline. The water is pumped to two 10,000 litre tanks and reticulated down to the houses and the concrete water troughs in the smaller paddocks.

Subdivided into 22 paddocks. The fencing is a mixture with most of a cattle proof nature and some horse type fencing, there are 3 electric fence circuits, round the smaller paddocks. The 5 larger paddocks all have dams (total 12 dams) which have held up well during droughts. The 13 smaller paddocks have water troughs.

3 farm houses. The main farmhouse has 3 bedrooms, one bathroom and a commanding view, to the Liverpool range, in the west, over the property's irrigation flats. The kitchen and bathroom were renovated 6 years ago. The second house (manager's) has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom were renovated 6 years ago. The third house is a 3 bedroom, older style house which needs renovation.

In addition to these houses, there are numerous excellent hilltop sites to build a modern house with terrific views across the Upper Hunter and Dartbrook valleys, extending to the Liverpool range.

The improvements include a good set of steel cattle yards, conveniently located with all-weather access, 2 sizeable, open bay, all-purpose steel sheds, an old dairy with 2 stables, timber machinery shed, old shearing shed, round yard and a new garage for the main house.

"Mossvale" presents as a well-balanced, picturesque property in a prime location. A buyer can continue to run it as a low key grazing business or the arable and irrigation portion can be developed in several ways. Ideal country and location for a thoroughbred or cattle stud/ activities. The subdivision potential of "Mossvale" is an exciting proposition now or into the future as Scone and the Upper Hunter continues to thrive. Please call me to organise your own private inspection.
