Adjoining Kosciuszko National Park in the Australian Alps with endless potential this is a truly unique offering.

The property derived its name from the gold fossicking that took place along the banks of the Rendezvous Creek in the 1800′s. "The Diggings" is a 140ha* agricultural lot in the Moonbah / Ingebirah locality of the Snowy River Shire and offers a buyer the unique opportunity to enter the Snowy Mountain property market. This "true" snowy mountains setting comes complete with a range of native and exotic fauna including: kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas, possums, brumbies and deer amongst others while the Rendezvous Creek, which is fed by mountain springs, rain & winter snowfalls is a permanent waterway that has never stopped running in living memory. The creek is home to numerous trout that have run upstream from the ‘blue ribbon’ fishing waters of the Moonbah River. "The Diggings" is located 27kms* along the Barry Way (bitumen) south from Jindabyne then 4kms along a dirt track (2 wheel drive in good conditions but can be perilous after rain or snow falls) to the property boundary. A "right of carriageway" has been agreed upon through the adjoining neighbour’s property and details are contained within the contract.
The property is approximately 7kms due east of Thredbo Village ‘as the crow flies’ and with an altitude of 1,400m at its highest point it receives much higher precipitation (rain & snow) than most of the Snowy River Shire. About 70% of the property is natural bushland, heavily timbered with an undergrowth of sub-alpine flora including mountain buttercups & snow orchids. The 30% arable portion runs either side of the Rendezvous Creek which crosses the property and includes some of the finest high country cattle country in the shire. Infrastructure includes a masonry residence and lodge, a third significant masonry building^, a large open sided machinery shed (storm damaged), 2 tennis courts (in a state of disrepair), 2 large man made dams (have been stocked with trout in years gone by), as well as several other smaller sheds and structures. The property is connected to mains power and has telephone connection, the water for the property is via roof catchment and from the Rendezvous Creek then pumped to a tank in higher ground and gravity fed to the dwellings while effluent is handled by a septic system. At one stage the property had approval for ‘short term holiday use’ but this approval lapsed many years ago because the required infrastructure did not comply with the necessary standards. The property as it stands needs some work to bring it up to scratch but it has a magnificent alpine setting that will be attractive to a variety of likely buyers.
