Agents Comments:
"Manderley", a true Monaro icon with outstanding history of producing wool, sheep, lambs as well as cattle of superior quality. Post World War II, until early 1970s, "Manderley" rams were much sought after right across Australia. Those bloodlines dating back to the Halcyon days of the Monaro merino are said to have had a substantial influence on today's sheep produced locally. The current custodians of "Manderley" have carried on the tradition of producing record breaking wool and livestock.
Conservative management of soils and pastures, the emphasis on minimal soil disturbance and well-handled stock, all a contributing factor to the successful grazing operation.
The average rainfall has been recorded around 650mm per annum with the carrying capacity estimated around 4,000 DSE by our vendors. All fences are in fair to excellent condition with the laneway making shearing, crutching, and drenching much more efficient. The combination of natural water sources such as creek and lake combined with two bores and a number of troughs ensuring water security.
This may just be a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a grazing property of this quality so close to the playground of the Australian Alps as well as our capital city only one and a half hour drive away!
