We are pleased to present this highly productive, commercial farming enterprise with some water rights, dams and irrigation all in place on a total of 307.81 ha (759 acres) (approx.) of land, on 4 titles with multiple dwellings stretching from the early 1800s to the present day. <br/><br/>The four titles are currently run as one property for beef production but lend themselves to a wide range of agricultural and tourist pursuits. The land is predominantly good productive, improved pasture running up to some smaller areas of native grassed, rocky outcrops with sheltered light bush.<br/>The Vendor offers the property as one entire package or will entertain the prospect of selling titles separately. <br/><br/>76 Goodwins Road, Mangalore, 7030 ("Milford")<br/>Area: 144.84 ha (357 acres) - approx<br/>Titles 180275/1 and 168077/1.<br/><br/>MILFORD<br/>Homestead<br/>The historic sandstone 8 bedroom homestead "Milford" has been carefully and tastefully refurbished over recent years. The house was originally a 2-bedroom settlers' cottage built in 1816 which has been progressively extended with multiple, sympathetic additions, all in sandstone and respecting the original form of Milford. <br/><br/>An elegant Victorian-style veranda was added in the late 19th century which complements the symmetrical formal façade of Milford. This is a classic, heritage property whose successive additions are a fine complement to the original structure and has enhanced the layering of historic changes in ownership and function. <br/><br/>The interiors reflect the various additions to the original structure with rooms featuring high moulded skirtings, mantles, cornices and pressed metal (TIN) ceilings, cellar, original window shutters and multi-pane windows overlooking the gardens to Mount Wellington. The original timber floors exude a warmth which continues throughout the house. <br/><br/>There are remnants of the early plantings in the surrounding gardens, including a palm and deciduous English oaks. <br/><br/>Milford would be ideally suited for many pastoral, tourist and farming pursuits.<br/><br/>Milford - Outbuildings<br/>Stone Stable<br/>The stable is a substantial supporting curtilage to the Milford estate. Largely intact and featuring cobblestone interior to half of the stables and a large loft extending the length of the building with the other end of the building having been carefully renovated with flagstone main room and internal loft space. <br/><br/>Blacksmiths<br/>The blacksmiths building is largely intact from the day when the blacksmith walked out the door with bellows and forge still in place plus two other rooms. <br/> <br/>Timber Stable<br/>This was transported in the early 2000s from Cornelian Hill complete with stalls and flagstone flooring. A utilitarian building which adds to the historic integrity of the property. <br/><br/>Brick Homes <br/>There are two 3-bedroom brick and tile homes on the Milford property providing a passive income and currently rented for $360 per house on short term leases. A new road has been constructed for private access to both homes and there is potential for both houses to be subdivided off the main parcel of land (STCA). <br/><br/>Storage Shed<br/>Originally used as a shearing shed and in recent times used for other purposes. <br/><br/>45 Eddington Road, Bagdad, 7030 ("Glen Avon")<br/>Area: 162.97 ha (402 acres) - approx.<br/>Titles 139483/1 and 207323/1 <br/><br/>Glen Avon Main House<br/>This stylish, architecturally designed and generously proportioned home sits at the entrance to Glen Avon.
