LOCATION: 'Lilyvale' is located 16 km west of the town of Tenterfield NSW. The whole of this distance is bitumen sealed road. The property is situated at 1623 Bruxner Way, Woodside, on the southeastern corner of Woodside Road and Bruxner Way AREA: Approximately 188.1 hectares or 464.6 acres PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: 'Lilyvale' with granite-based soils is well suited for livestock grazing and cropping. The majority of the property is love grass along with native grasses. Approximately 80 acres has been worked up and planted with lucerne, corn, oats and millet all having been grown in years gone by. The property was last cultivated in 2016 with oats and millet grown and has huge potential for the re-establishment of cropping. The estimated carrying capacity for 'Lilyvale' is 70 to 80 cows and calves (as advised by the vendor), season dependent. Currently there are 400 large western wethers and replacement heifers being run on the property. TOPOGRAPHY: The land comprises a mixture of level to undulating country with easy access over all the property, working around Saltwater Gully. Height above sea level ranges from approximately 760 to 800 metres. TIMBER: Shade timber only scattered around the property. Timber types include oak, gum, stringy bark and box. WATER: 'Lilyvale' stock water is provided by Saltwater Gully which is fed by a permanent spring and 2 stock water dams. Long time neighbours tell the story of this spring being used to provide water for a local herd of dairy cattle in the early 1900's, when there was no other water available in the area. To this day, 'Lilyvale' has never run out or water. There are 2 rainwater tanks on the homestead and 1 on the machinery shed. FENCING: The property is fenced into 3 paddocks with the new fencing being 6 plain wires with 1 hot wire on top, all on galvanised steel posts. Existing fencing is a mix of plain and barb wire on steel posts. All fencing is in good order. STOCK YARDS: New steel panel cattle yards with Bordin Bros adjustable loading ramp, Norco Cattleman vet crush, fully cemented race, force yard, 2 drafting yards and 2 holding yards. HOMESTEAD: The early 1900's homestead was moved to 'Lilyvale' from Tenterfield Station, and is timber frame clad with weatherboards, iron roof and timber floorboards. Accommodation consists of 5 bedrooms, lounge with wood heater, dining, kitchen with fuel stove, office, storeroom, bathroom and toilet, front and rear verandahs and outside laundry. The home needs considerable work and expenditure. SHEDDING: 'Lilyvale' has a large selection of sheds including a fully equipped 3 stand shearing shed, with electric grinder and Sunbeam wool press, pig shed, 2 machinery sheds, store sheds, hay shed and garage. 'Lilyvale' is being offered for sale for only the second time since the early 1950's, presenting an exciting opportunity to purchase a sizable rural property less than 15 minutes from Tenterfield. The property's excellent location and access also allows for the potential development of agritourism such as farm stay accommodation in the original early 1900's homestead, or even a farm-gate business.
