Very well maintained 30 acre river front property that is all set up for weekends away or could also be used for agricultural purposes and this exciting piece of land has many improvements which provide some basic infrastructure. There is also a creek that runs through the property and into the river that creates another wonderful aspect to this property.

The town of Casterton is only 20 minutes down the road with all the shops you need and the city of Mount Gambier is only 40 minutes away with all the large shopping chains.

The costal town of Nelson where the river meets the sea is an hour drive from the property so you can even make a trip to the beach for some fishing or a swim over the weekend.

Directly acorss from the private swimming hole at the river there is a natural spring creek that runs even in the driest years providing icy cold crystal clear water that has been used for drinking water on many occasions.

The property is mostly grass, River Redgum Trees and a strip of natural bush running along the road reserve side of the property which provides a private secure setting for this beautiful location. Tons of wildlife with all types of birds with lovely colours.

Plenty of dried redgum from fallen tress around the property for those who like a good fire or even split the redgum and take it home.

The property will be sold with a transportable cabin for those weekend visits that has all the amenities which will keep even the fussiest person comfortable and two 40 foot shipping containers that are in excellent condition for storage. Also a small tractor will come with the property.

After the recent flooding of the upper Glenelg river you can be assured that this piece of land is not subject to flooding except a small amount right down next to the river which had no effect on anything.

The property has mostly river flat areas with dark fertile soil and a sandy loam hill on the back south eastern corner with northerly exposure. The hill is roughly 22m above flat area which has one of the 22500lt tanks on the top providing really strong water pressure at the outlet location.

2 dams with 1 of the dams being fed by an underground spring and the spring fed dam has underground piping set up so you can pump water from the dam to the water tank on top of the hill.

3 sides of the property are fenced with the fences in good condition and the side that is not fenced is down by the river. There is enough brand new CCA treated posts and wire on the property to complete the fencing.

This has been a wonderful property for the owners providing many good memories. It is a great location for horse riding, motorbikes, nature lovers, kayakers, many private swimming holes for the summer months, relaxing or even for fattening off livestock before selling at market. There is also a couple of motorbike jumps for those daring types.

There has been NO chemicals what so ever used on the property and it shows when you dig into the soil finding worms in nearly every shovel full.

There is some fruit trees been planted on the property including apple, pears, nectarine, peach, plums, lemon, lemonade, mulberry, blueberry and orange trees.

This is by far one of the nicest pieces of river front land for sale in south western victoria at this price with so many extras to make anyone fall in love with the property.

Any reasonable cash offers made will be considered but if finance is required the full asking price will be accepted and I can tell you now for a fact that residential loans from any major banks will not be approved. This property is rural zoned so please don't waste your time if you are not familiar with rural lending criteria. Usually 30% deposit is required for rural lending.
