Homesdale is situated in the highly productive Tumut Valley. The Tumut River runs along the western boundary for some 3.5 kilometres. Trout fishing is a must, pop down in the morning and have fresh Trout for lunch!
The property is set on the alluvial flats of the river, these flats meanwhile drawing moisture from the water basin below.
Tumut is a thriving mountain community with the blend of agriculture and tourism. Being adjacent to the township and the river the multiple titles provide long term real estate security. Agricultural production is enviable with high carrying capacity pastures, irrigation and secure water.
