99 HEATHERSTON ROAD, ARMIDALE
Encompassing 169.7 hectares (419.3 acres), Heatherston offers productive grazing country, established rural infrastructure and the convenience of being located just 8 kilometres from Armidale.
With a history of successful livestock production, the property has previously supported prime lamb and weaner cattle operations. Its reputation for producing quality livestock reflects the productive nature of the country and the work invested in its pasture development over the years.
The property features a mix of red, chocolate and black basalt soils, with areas of trap rock throughout. Established perennial pastures and clovers provide a strong grazing base, while the fertile alluvial creek flats offer additional opportunities for cropping and lucerne hay production.
Water is a key feature, with pump access to the Tilbuster Ponds creek system, a solar-powered pumping system supplies a network of stock troughs throughout the paddocks, complemented by a number of substantial dams, some of which are spring-fed.
Supporting the property's agricultural operations is an established range of rural infrastructure, including a single-stand electric woolshed, undercover sheep yards, steel cattle yards with crush facilities, machinery shedding, a separate hay shed, silos and horse stables. These improvements provide facilities for a range of livestock and rural pursuits.
The homestead offers three bedrooms, a central bathroom, kitchen, dining and living areas, together with a separate family room featuring a bar. Solar panels and a generous 7.6m x 8.9m carport add further practicality to the home.
In addition to the main homestead, the property also features a separate cottage, which is currently tenanted and provides an additional income stream. This offers further flexibility and appeal, whether as an ongoing rental opportunity or accommodation for extended family, staff or guests.
Positioned within easy reach of Armidale, Heatherston offers the benefits of rural living while remaining close to the region's schools, hospitals, professional services, shopping and transport connections.
Held across three separate titles, this is an opportunity to secure 419.3 acres of established grazing country in the New England region, with a combination of productive soils, water resources, rural infrastructure and convenient access to Armidale.
