A poplar lined driveway leads from the main entrance over an excellent concrete causeway giving access across the very permanent Wyagdon Creek which flows through approximately 100 acres of fertile creek flats that have been used over the years for lucerne & summer/winter crops. From Wyagdon Creek the water is pumped to a 25,000 gallon concrete tank which supplies water to all the improvements and troughs in the paddocks surrounding the shearing shed.
Wyagdon West is fenced into 33 paddocks ranging from rich, heavy creek flats to slightly undulating loam country nicely timbered with a scattering of white and yellow box trees through to hilly country with heavier areas of white and yellow box trees, all capable of carrying cattle or sheep. Water is excellent with spring dams in most paddocks and some paddocks with two dams as well as water courses. An excellent bore is situated in the heart of the property which can be used for back up in all types of seasons.
Over the past 6 years Wyagdon West has been used extensively as a wool growing property with an accent on fine wool production. With the property at present running 4,700 sheep combining both breeding and wool growing. Prior to the introduction of wool growing the
present owners, who have had the property for over 40 years, were running crossbred ewes, cows & calves which consistently attracted high prices at both the Bathurst & Homebush saleyards.
The improvements have been centred around the accommodation with the house in good condition with 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2 large living areas with open fires, 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms. Outstanding views from the living areas overlook the creek flats and beyond.
An excellent 4 stand shearing shed has a large wool room and attached undercover all weather shed with a holding capacity of 1,400 sheep. Large steel sheep yards, 2 sets of timber cattle yards, large machinery shed with concrete floor and power, enclosed workshop, 2 silos, double car garage, 2 haysheds and other outbuildings complete the improvements.
Wyagdon West is an outstanding large property situated within easy access to the city of Bathurst. The ownership of Wyagdon has been in the Hill family for over 40 years and they have predominately run both sheep and cattle over those years. During the present ownership a great deal of care and attention has been applied to pasture development, fencing and water enabling heavy livestock production.
