Grazing Mecca | Water, Views, Location!

Barrington village near Gloucester is the location of this breathtaking 318.5ac (128.90ha) grazing property. With fertile soil and lush pastures harking back to its former life as a leading dairy property, plus rolling hills and rich creek flats with pockets of rainforest, leave no doubt about this landholding's superior quality animal husbandry, agricultural and lifestyle credentials. Cleared slightly undulating, pasture improved, apple mahogany and stringy bark trees for stock shelter. Pastures are sown to rye, paspalum, kikuyu, oats and Rhodes grass, the property currently carrying 170 replacement heifers. An abundance of natural water courtesy of a 155mgl irrigation license which fills a 12mgl lake-size dam, 3 dams suppling paddock troughs plus a creek running through the property delivering constant water supply.

A great deal of financial investment has gone into the extensive infrastructure. A laneway system ensures easy stock movement between paddocks. There is an enormous 4 bay hay/plant/machinery shed, two dairies, one timber, one brick with massive concrete floor and 22,000lt water tank, pressure pump for cleaning trucks and equipment, 2 stables, enclosed dog yards and large, fully enclosed chicken house. A defining feature is an exceptional interconnected stock yard system with covered crush.

Sitting comfortably within a house garden of manicured lawns and hedges and fenced with post and rail, the weatherboard homestead is ready for your personal touch. The interior is free flowing and light-filled with high ceilings and white palette contrasting with the timber floorboards flowing through the kitchen and informal areas. Warm and inviting, the lounge opens to the dining area, and beyond, the lovely country kitchen with gas and electric cooking, dishwasher and butler's sink. French doors open to an alfresco deck, perfect for entertainment and enjoying the simply stunning property views.

At day's end, each of the three queen-size bedrooms have BIR, stylish plantation shutters and ceiling fans. Designed with family use in mind, the spacious bathroom boasts a large shower, claw-footed bath and timber vanity with ample storage. A well-proportioned laundry hosts a second bathroom, enormous workbench and storage and external access. Adjacent to the homestead is a double lock-up Colourbond garage with concrete floor and power and attached 4 bay open feed, tack and storage shed with two stables and vehicle space. Additional features include slow combustion heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, underground water tank for domestic use and enviro-cycle waste management system.
