Barfold VIC 3444

The history of Barfold started in July 1837 when William Henry Yaldwyn, an early settler, was searching for a cattle and sheep run on the west bank of the Campaspe River some 65 miles from Melbourne and leased from the Crown some 60,000 acres of "good grazing land" at Barfold for an annual Fee of Ten pounds.

Located in the same region, this property currently still holds as much intrinsic appeal for these purposes as then and is today additionally recognised as an established trufferie with 6- and 7-year-old French (Holly) Oak trees providing an ever increasing yield as the trees mature. The land is adorned with approximately 800 trees that are fully irrigated. These trees yield between 15 to 20kg* of French black truffles annually, offering an exciting venture into trufficulture for those with a penchant for gourmet delicacies.

The property is also home to approximately thirty Angus cattle but has the capacity to hold up to sixty approximately. This presents an excellent opportunity for those interested in livestock farming or simply seeking the pastoral charm of country living.

The property is powered by an off-grid 5 kW solar-panel power system which includes the battery. This sustainable energy solution aligns perfectly with today's natural environmental ethos which is also complimented by the water storage solution which is well catered for with a tank-to-shed system. Additionally, there are six dams scattered across the property providing ample water resources for irrigation and livestock.

Located within close proximity to Barfold's geological wonders; like the four-kilometre-long Barfold Gorge that plunges up to 80 meters deep and features two waterfalls, basalt columns, and a lava cave. The community hall serves as a hub for local gatherings, fostering a sense of community among residents.

This property offers a lifestyle steeped in history, surrounded by nature's bounty, and supported by sustainable living practices. It's not just about owning land; it's about becoming part of Barfold's rich tapestry and the myriad of successful uses this prime land holding can be utilised for, just as back in the days of William Henry Yaldwyn, this is the calibre of property often sought but only occasionally found in one's lifetime.
