ROSES AT MURMUNGE- TEN MINUTES SOUTH OF BEECHWORTH OFFERS REAL RURAL LIVING APPEAL
A north east district rural property with great small farming and rural lifestyle appeal at 348 Lee Morrison Road at Murmungee which is only ten minutes south of Beechworth and 30 minutes east of Wangaratta is scheduled for an on property auction sale on Wednesday 21 December by Elders Rural of Wangaratta.
With an area of 37.9 hectares, or 93.5 acres, the property is known as 'Roses' in reference to a previous owner and as a tribute to the established garden and orchard environment surrounding the home.
The owner of Roses recently passed away at ninety three years of age and was the third generation family owner.
The property holds a 650 metre frontage to Lee Morrison Road and has been set up to run thirty five to forty head of cattle and their calves.
There are fertile productive soils, a fully and quality fenced paddock subdivision with steel cattle yards, crush and loading ramp.
The home of solid red brick and corrugated steel roofing is in good liveable condition with three bedrooms and all services presents as a great renovation or upgrading opportunity to provide an ideal family or rural living opportunity.
The property also has two reliable springs which afford a good water supply for livestock and domestic purposes, additional farm buildings are a two stand shearing shed with a six by nine metre skillion extension that forms a machinery shed,
There is another fourteen by ten metre structure which provides plenty of room for the hay shed and storage,
The last owner was a very keen gardener who created and maintained the garden and orchard areas surrounding the home.
Elders Real Estate's Wangaratta agent Michael Everard says that Roses at 348 Lee Morrison Road Murmungee is the sort of property we receive most enquiry for.
"First there is the productive and useful land form of some size with established pastures and tree blocks in an attractive rural location.
"The original home while in sound liveable condition is the type of blank canvas that value can readily be added to by a renovation and some design flair by the new owner.
"Then there is the local district with easy access to Beechworth, Myrtleford and Wangaratta which affords endless opportunities for retail and shopping, social and community involvement and employment in the current tight jobs market.
"I am nominating an expected auction sale range of around $1.5 million as a property with all its unique characteristics and appeal will be vey hard to locate in the current property market and the demand were ae seeing from existing district residents and those coming from the metropolitan area in search of a real rural lifestyle experience.
"This property will meet the demands of a buyer wanting to set up a livestock business or interest as all the needed facilities are already in place,"
