In the highly fertile hills of South Gippsland, set on 120.14 ha / 296.7 acres*, we present for the first time in almost 50 years, 'Ashdale'.

To use my vendors words, 'you won't find a more honest farm'.

A farm that has provided profitable growth and investment for generations and presented year in year out exceptional consistent quality cattle and lambs to market.

'Ashdale' consists of:

- 120.14 ha / 296.7 acres* on one title
- Undulating to steep in parts, open and sheltered heavy carrying blue gum grazing country
- 16 paddocks* plus smaller house paddocks
- Approximately 16ha / 40 acres* for hay / silage production
- Secure water by way of spring and catchment dams
- Annual rainfall of 1100 mm*
- 24.9 DSE / ha or 3.1 AE / ha (carrying capacity guide)
- Traditional English rye, native trefoil and clover grass species
- Annual fertiliser application
- Central stock yards
- 4 Stand raised board shearing shed with sheep yards
- Hay shed - 200* round bales
- Assorted smaller sundry shedding

This property was first selected by Ben Ashenden in 1885, with the first home built from blue-gum timber split on the site. In 1894 with a new bride, Elizabeth Dale, a home was built on the hilltop where the present 'Ashdale' homestead stands.

The Home:

- Traditional weatherboard farmhouse est. 1950's on the original house site
- Kitchen with Rayburn combustion stove, dishwasher and electric oven
- 3 bedrooms, small study,1 bathroom, living with open firewood heater
- 8.5kw solar system

Presently running 145 Dunoon bred Angus breeders with calves at foot and 60+ ewes and 100+ lambs, in addition to bulls and horses.

The time has come for Ashdale to be handed over to a new custodian. This property offers an opportunity for a new generation as an ideal affordable entry into farming whilst also being an opportunity for expansion to compliment an established farming enterprise for sheep or cattle in the highly secure rainfall region that is South Gippsland.

Ideally located just 30 minutes from Victorias premiere EVLX livestock selling centre, 25 min. to Leongatha, 60 min. to Traralgon and 2 hrs* to Melbourne.
