Kelly's Wetlands provides magnificent birdlife in Winter & cattle fattening country in other seasons
One of our areas best kept secrets, yet they have been milking cows on 'Weerongurt' for over 100 years. An outstanding location within 10km of the rapidly expanding regional centre with breathtaking ocean views from Warrnambool City to Port Fairy and everything in between. Exceptional fertility and soil types, complemented by 360 Megalites Irrigation license, currently watering 140 acres.
'Weerongurt' formed part of the Farnham special survey of 5120 Acres, which was taken up by William Rutledge from the Crown in 1843. 'This country quickly gained inter colonial celebrity for its famous potatoes and dairying with exceptional richness of soil being chocolate loams over limestone', as quoted in the newspaper at the Auction of Farnham Park in the 1890's. Not much has changed. The Madden family have owned 'Weerongurt' for over 75 years, demonstrating how safely held this property is.
Adding another dimension to 'Weerongurt' is Kelly's Wetlands, which provide a sanctuary for magnificent birdlife in the Winter months and valuable cattle fattening country in other seasons.
Structural improvements include a 3/4brm cream brick veneer home, and original stone sharefarmer cottage. A 25 aside Herringbone dairy and machinery shed are in working order. In recent times the property has milked up to 300 cows on a fully self contained basis, with young and dry stock retained on the property, including fodder production.
'Weerongurt' would have the highest appeal to landbankers and investors, intensive agriculturalists or simply if you would like to watch the waves roll in and the bullocks fatten.
