Wongabina's 769.9 hectares is of a size, enabling it to be a very productive and lucrative family farm with an amazing homestead and gardens coming together to provide a wonderful lifestyle.
In between Sydney and Brisbane and only 27 minutes from Tamworth, Wongabina is positioned to take advantage of everything the bustling city of Tamworth has to offer including private schools, state of the art medical facilities, equine centre, and extensive sporting facilities.
Wongabina homestead and gardens are a delight to visit and make a statement in their own right.
The home overlooks parklike gardens consisting of tall shade trees, flowing Buxus and Rose hedges, and a large dam which provides a lovely outlook, a great swimming area for children and a cooling microclimate.
The amazing view from the verandah down the stunning Loomberah valley is like an ever-changing painting.
Wongabina is a home of generous proportions, with cypress timber flooring and nine-foot ceilings and three open fireplaces.
A very inviting casual family area consists of a large kitchen, a walk-in pantry, dining area, and a sitting room around a slow combustion wood fireplace. This room alone has three sets of double French doors leading you onto the wisteria covered verandah.
A more formal and beautiful lounge/ dining room has a vista through a wall of glass to the paddock beyond with cattle grazing and fattening. This room is also exceptionally appealing in the winter months with its very seductive large open fireplace.
The home has four large bedrooms three of which have double timber French doors opening onto the verandah overlooking the garden. An office / sewing area is incorporated into one side of the large laundry.
There are three bathrooms, two of which are ensuites, one with a spa bath.
For the past twenty-eight years Wongabina has been a cattle breeding enterprise focusing on animal wellbeing and ease of management.
- Well maintained permanent pastures of both temperate and sub-tropical species have been established, and vetch and clovers have been incorporated as companion species, these have been consistently fertilized with poultry litter. Native grasses have been over sown with clovers.
- Stock water is secure. A 1.5-kilometre frontage to the permanent Coxs Creek on the eastern side of the property is complimented by 2 bores and 19 dams. Coxs Creek ran right through the 2018-20 drought.
- A laneway system facilitates stock movements between the 28 paddocks and the cattle yards.
- Steel cattle yards are extensive with a loading ramp, covered vet crush for adult cattle as well as a calf race and 'Spin a Calf 'cradle. All cattle work can be a one-man job.
- There is a four bay machinery shed, hayshed, small walk-in silo and a small vehicle storage shed.
Wongabina certainly is an impressive rural property from both a lifestyle and business perspective.
