Original (1800) site of Swanston town to get supply to Little Swanport and Oatlands.

Pine Hills is situated on the Original (1800) site of Swanston which was established to help get convicts and their supplies from Little Swanport to build the halfway carriage town of Oatlands.That is why the property has blocks ranging from one to 200 hectares.With 14 titles there is potential to sell blocks off for shooting or getaway shacks. At only 167 m above sea level this property is much earlier than farms closer to Oatlands and thus lambing and calving can be earlier while still having the benefit of high summer rainfall (usually) to finish lambs. The property has been named after the oyster bay pines on the property. Much of the bush has been put under conservation covenant.

The turnip crop pictured speaks for itself. It features a 4 stand Shearing shed, 3 bay Machinery shed (20×20.) It is watered by Dams, springs and the Pine Rivulet. It also has 2 sets of sheep yards and 1 silo. LAND: 2600 acres 700 acres ploughable. 2 x 500 ml dam sites as well as numerous other sites have been identified by a Farm Water Development Plan. The carrying capacity is 3500 DSE at present but could be increased with installation of pivots and ploughing.

One of the standout fearures is the strong stands of microlaena native grass which is very productive in the bush areas and is particularly prevalent on South Pine Hills which is also for sale next door.The fertile areas around the sheds and yards are carrying thick stands of ryegrass. The farm has the benefit of being sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds and being relatively frost free like the East Coast due to being down off the Oatlands plateau.
