WEEROONA AT WHOROULY Attractive North East Farming/Lifestyle Property in Key Location - Cattle Grazing with Quality Home
The highly productive farm holding known as Weeroona at Whorouly in Victoria's north east is for sale. to bring to an end almost fifty years of family ownership.
Weeroona holds a key location at the junction of the main Snow Road and Whorouly Road. Positioned within easy reach of the highly regarded North East Food and Wine regions, and the Snow fields of Mount Hotham and Falls Creek.
It is also within thirty minutes commute of the three principal centres of Wangaratta, Myrtleford and Beechworth and all the multiple attractions and interests they offer.
The property bounded by two good road frontages has an area of 55 hectares or 136 acres, comprising highly desirable level red gum flats with a long record of being highly productive and presenting a great aspect as well.
The vendors are currently running Angus and Angus Charolais cross breeders and their calves.
They retain the heifers for herd replacements and typically sell the calves at district auction markets.
In addition, the property holds a good double frontage to the Whorouly Creek, a reliable Ovens River tributary.
Water resources are a notable feature including two draglines and several dams, plus a licensed bore that is equipped with a submersible electric pump.
There is also a 12.3 Megalitre Stock & Domestic pumping right, and a nine paddock subdivision, mostly all electric fenced.
In addition, there is a working set of steel yards, crush and loading race.
An original distinctive galvanised steel tobacco drying kiln has been retained for additional storage but might be capable of being extended or revitalised for another purpose.
There is a large hay shed currently stocked with seventy big round bales.
There is a four-bay powered and concrete floored machinery shed plus a chicken run.
Quality lawns and gardens with specimen trees, plus an orchard and vegetable patch enable the vendors to say there is always some home grown produce available for use in the quality kitchen.
Although now retired Norm says he has set Weeroona up to 'run like clockwork' so he can pursue some of his local interests.
Norm played for Wangaratta Rovers which led to a 114 game VFL career with Hawthorn including as centre half back in the Hawks 1971 Premiership team.
Norm and his partner Annie are selling Weeroona to fully retire and move into Wangaratta.
But it's the circa 35 squares of the quality home on the property that will excite many inspections and buyer interest.
Of white timber weatherboards with a zincalume roof, it offers four bedrooms, including the main with ensuite and walk-in robe, two more bathrooms and a home office and extensive lounge, dining and outdoor deck areas.
It has regularly been the centrepiece for extended family celebrations and seasonal events.
The home is sited in a delightful position from where the aspects of the creek view and extensive red gum river flats convey the delightful aspect.
There is plenty of rainwater tank storage while an extensive 5kw rooftop solar installation means that power bills equal only a couple of dollars per day.
Weeroona at Whorouly is an ideal-sized lifestyle and farming holding in a district where few properties of this calibre come on to the market.
Within about twenty-five minutes of Wangaratta via the Snow Road this property offers a great lifestyle and an easy to run flexible farming operation on a property of undoubted quality and productivity.
The 'best of the district' with few equals in the north east are the hallmarks of this holding.
