LOCATED: The Wolgan Valley is one of the best kept secrets in NSW … a large scenic valley fringed by spectacular sandstone cliffs, and with just a single vehicle entrance. A quiet and peaceful setting, surrounded by pristine National Parks and far from the hustle and bustle and city noises – so appealing that there is now a 6 star’ eco-resort in the valley. Wolganvale’ is located only 16 km off the main Castlereagh Highway, 28 km from Lithgow and approx 2 hours drive from Sydney.
COUNTRY: The property itself is fairly level to gently undulating, valley floor country mostly cleared but with adequate shade and shelter trees and approx 10 acres of pines. Approx 80% of the predominantly loamy soils are arable, and carry mainly native pastures. Current owners have had the property for 30 years, and have run a cattle breeding enterprise estimated to run 30-40 breeding cows.
HOMESTEAD: Very comfortable, near new (5-6 years old), brick veneer, spacious, single storey home with a 3m verandah all round, glorious valley and sandstone cliffs views, and large windows in all rooms, taking full advantage of the outlook. The modern house comprises spacious main living area with polished timber floors and wood combustion heater, opening to oak kitchen with very large walk-in pantry and island bench; main bedroom with en-suite and walk-in robes; 2 further bedrooms with built-ins; main bathroom; separate toilet; laundry; and office. The house is positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding cliffs and valley outlook, and is set in a fenced yard area of approx 5 acres which, as well as the main house contains large shed, 15m in-ground salt water swimming pool, planted trees, veggie garden and small orchard.
IMPROVEMENTS: The main shed is very substantial, covering 100′ x 40′ all up, and comprising a main lock-up area of 100′ x 30′ with power, concrete floor, 7 roller doors in total (one automatic), water connected, hot water and toilet. The additional skillion area is also mostly enclosed with concrete floors and 2 open bays. Further improvements include timber cattle yards with crush and loading ramp (work approx 40 head); and an open front machinery/hay shed of approx 50′ x 30′ with one enclosed lock-up bay with concrete floor.
WATER: 6 dams supply water to stock, all good dams of which 2 are large dams and one is spring fed. A 700 gph bore with windmill pumps to a storage tank which gravity feeds the house and garden area. The house has dual plumbing rainwater to the kitchen and bathrooms and borewater to the remainder.
AREA: 85.66 ha (212 acres)
PRICE: $887,000
REMARKS: Wolganvale’ is far more than just a small cattle property. The current long term owners had intended to be there for many years – evident from the attention to detail and the work that has gone into the house, improvements and the property in general. The modern, very tidy house and facilities provides buyers with the opportunity to run livestock, live very comfortably, and enjoy the 6 star’ Wolgan Valley surroundings all within a comfortable drive from Sydney. Whether looking for a recreational weekender, or a permanent home Wolganvale’ is certainly worth an inspection.
