Hill country grazing and recreation property at Allambee Reserve
The 69-hectare property in the high rainfall Strzelecki Ranges suits cattle or sheep grazing with recreation appeal.
Allambee Reserve sits in the high rainfall Strzelecki Ranges of South Gippsland and offers a grazing property with affordable entry into farming.
The property is ideal for cattle, sheep and lifestyle pursuits for those who love motorbike riding, camping or simply enjoying the views across the valley to the coastline.
A two-bedroom, one-bathroom home set in a productive garden of fruit and citrus trees makes for an ideal permanent or weekender home.
The property is considered undulating to steep grazing, so it suits the considered buyer, with the reward being the productive nature of the country in a secure high rainfall district that can run cattle or be leased out for income.
There is scope for improvement, with dams needing cleaning out, tracks needing reforming and fencing needed in some areas, work well suited to a dozer.
The 69-hectare (170-acre) property offers undulating to steep grazing with sheltered warm gullies, and open hill country grazing across two paddocks including a hay paddock of about 20 acres.
There are seven dams including a spring fed dam that feeds a header tank at the house for the garden and two troughs.
Stock yards include a cattle crush, loading race and smaller pens suitable for sheep, and while boundary fencing is good, internal fencing requires work.
The property is currently running sheep and cattle on a low input scale, with a potential carrying capacity guide of about 20 DSE per hectare or 2.5 AE per hectare.
Allambee Reserve has an annual rainfall of about 1052mm (42 inches).
The home has a wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioning, and the property includes lock up shedding, a workshop with power and a hay shed.
It is centrally located about 20 minutes from Mirboo North, 35 minutes from Leongatha or Warragul and 1 hour 40 minutes from Melbourne CBD.
While not considered tractor friendly in most parts, the property is well suited to grazing cattle and sheep, as a nature reserve, or as a weekend four-wheel drive and motorbike riding property with income potential.
