Vendors Keen to Retire and will Consider any Reasonable Offer

Failing health is motivating the vendors to make a change after 3 generations (over 100 years) of continuous family ownership of this highly regarded property which is located about 60 km from Orange and 4½ hours drive from Sydney. It comprises 1706 Ha (4216 acres). The carrying capacity is about 7,000 DSE. Structural improvements have all been particularly well maintained and include sheep & cattle yards, 3 stand electric shearing shed with 100 bale wool room, steel machinery shed, numerous general purpose sheds. Lockup and under cover parking caters for up to 13 vehicles. Water is a real feature with 13 km frontage to Macquarie River and Lake Burrendong in addition to numerous catchment and spring fed dams and creeks. The modern well appointed brick veneer home is in an attractive valley setting and has four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living areas and wide verandahs. Soils include heavy red basalt plateaus, undulating grazing hills of shale origin and small pockets of alluvial soils along the river. Vigorous native pastures are established over the entire property. Attractive stands of white box and kurrajong trees provide year round protection for livestock. The Ten Mile is a property with an impressive record – it has always produced high quality wool clips and long term rainfall records reveal an average in excess of 750mm per annum. Those who seek a viable wool growing and grazing enterprise can inspect with confidence – it has the runs on the board. It’s location offers a unique opportunity to combine work and recreation – the direct access to Lake Burrendong provides ski runs of up to 60 km, private camping, quiet fishing & picnic spots and excellent swimming holes right on the boundary. This is more than just a farm it is a genuine rural investment. The vendor has said “it will be sad to leave but the time has come to move on”
