* 11,500 acres, undulating to steeper ridge country
* Estimated 5,000 acres cleared
* Long history of carrying upwards of 650 cows and calves’Long Creek’is located in the Manning District and is perhaps one of the largest rural holdings offered for sale to the public for sometime in the area. Elders Real Estate is very proud and excited to be given the opportunity to market this massive property and would like to thank the Vendor for selecting the Agency. With an overall area of approximately 11,500 acres’Long Creek’is a true rarity in today’s Real Estate Market. Consisting of cleared undulating to steeper ridges with open forest grazing and then running back into steeper Mountain Ranges’Long Creek’takes up what is virtually a valley of its own having a South East to North West orientation. With an estimated 5,000 acres of relatively cleared land this unique holding has an incredible balance of grazing and timbered land. With a long history of carrying upwards of 650 cows and calves (owner rated)’Long Creek’has the potential to see an increase in carrying capacity of breeders or steers with further clearing and supering. In basic terms the property is located within the foot hills of the Great Divide and situated approximately 1 3/4 hours inland from Taree in the Manning Valley. Access to the property is relatively easy with established Council roads, although 4WD vehicles would be required to traverse the acreage. Having a reliable 40 inch rainfall per year provides excellent stock water to the many dams, creeks and gully lines that intersect the property, Long Creek is perhaps one of the more major creek lines running through the length of the property and runs into solid pools of water providing reliable year round stock water. Cattle yards, stockman’s hut and good 4WD tracks allow for relatively easy access to all areas of this massive property to muster cattle or push into the Mountains for timber harvesting. While the obvious pursuit of cattle will ideally suit’Long Creek’there is a serious abundance of commercial timber which will create a supplementary income to the landholder.’Long Creek’offers the prudent purchaser the ability to run larger numbers of cattle but also to benefit from the potential of other income streams derived from”Bio-Diversity Credits”, Eco Tourism or Subdivision into smaller portions. In the recent past there have been instances where closely located land owners have received financial incentives to effectively lock up vast tracts of their timbered land. Very rarely does such a large tract of land become available on the Eastern sea board of the Mid North Coast, with a land area of approximately 10,000 acres.’Long Creek’is a serious property with serious future potential given the scarcity of larger land holdings in the area.
