“Eastmore” encompasses a well-maintained and accessible property suitable for cattle breeding, finishing, or backgrounding operations. The estate comprises three distinct land categories: the primary well-managed pastureland, areas of pristine native bushland, and a crown lease area of approximately 200 hectares adjoining the rear of the freehold land. The pasture and light grazing bushland are predominantly flat to undulating terrain, while the native bushland areas are characterised by steeper slopes. The crown lease provides valuable natural bushland resources ideal for seasonal grazing, particularly during summer months.

Fencing is robust, stock-proof, and composed of plain and barbed wire supported by steel posts and strainers made of steel and wood. Pasture management has been diligent, with regular fertilisation and forage improvement, including clover, ryegrass, and select phalaris species.
Rainfall: The region experiences an average annual rainfall of approximately 32 inches (about 800 mm), predominantly falling during the autumn and winter months. The climate is characterised as temperate, supporting a productive agricultural environment.
Property Utilization: Historically, “Eastmore” has been primarily operated as a cattle breeding property. It offers an excellent foundation for further value-adding activities, such as backgrounding or cattle finishing, appealing to investors seeking to develop and diversify their agricultural enterprise.
Improvements: There are no significant structural improvements on the property. However, the property is equipped with a modern, well-constructed set of cattle yards, including a crush and loading ramp, positioned adjacent to Callaghan Creek Road for ease of stock handling and management.
Agent Remarks: “Eastmore” represents an outstanding parcel of cattle country within a peaceful and secure district, well-suited for absentee ownership and management. There is potential to enhance pasture productivity further through additional inputs or the establishment of fodder crop rotations, leveraging the higher rainfall zone. The Mitta Mitta district, and especially the Callaghan Creek area, is distinguished by its exceptional natural beauty, balancing open farming land, native bushland, and surrounding state forests. In addition to its strong agricultural productivity,
“Eastmore” offers considerable potential for tourism and hospitality ventures, owing to its scenic environment and natural higher country landscape. The property is divided into two titles, facilitating straightforward joint ownership and investment opportunities.
