‘Acacia Park’ 225 acre dairy farm
This renowned Yarragon property and original farm of one of the early families in the area, ‘Acacia Park’ arrives on the market as a wonderful opportunity to buy in to a 225 acre fully functioning dairy farm.
Now offered for sale for the first time in 50 years, (and only the second time since settlement), this well-respected property sits in the heart of this blue chip farming district and has been extensively improved and maintained over the years. Positioned on the north east edge of Yarragon township, and so just minutes to this charming village, schools and convenience, the land is held in five separate titles and is bounded by three extensive road frontages. There are two residences on the property; the extensive main homestead - a grand three or four bedroom home with multiple living zones inside and out, plus the recently refurbished, three bedroom Manager’s residence offering stylish comfort and relaxed living. Entry to the main homestead and farm is via a sealed circular driveway from the main road, through gorgeous established gardens to the 30 square brick veneer home. All the living areas inside face north, as do the extensive decks and covered alfrescos which allow easy indoor-outdoor living. Double glazing has been installed throughout the generous living rooms and broad, full height windows allow streams of natural light inside these delightful spaces. There’s both a huge formal lounge (with open fire place) and dining area plus a separate open plan family living zone consisting of a second meals area, contemporary designer kitchen of huge proportions and a wonderful, rambling family room, part of which resembles a conservatory. Gorgeous stone benchtops, loads of storage and high end stainless appliances complete the kitchen which overlooks the rest of the family room. Some special décor elements highlight the front foyer and a huge and excellently appointed home office opens from here too.
The main bedroom is spacious and includes a totally refurbished ensuite and large walk in robe plus special views to the garden – a noteworthy feature from every room in the house!
All additional bedrooms are well appointed and serviced by a large family bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. A covered breezeway connects the double auto garage to the home (in fact there is garage parking for five cars) and the stunning gardens surrounding the home are very private with many special features like winding pathways, play areas and a fabulous summer house with built in kitchen. Nearby, the well maintained Manager’s residence offers plenty of comfort and style with three bedrooms, spacious living, a convenient kitchen, carport and outdoor living area. Ample farm shedding includes the 18 aside, swing-over herringbone dairy with grain silo and refrigerated vat, two hay sheds, calf rearing shed, excellent stock yards, race and crush and a cow capacity of 200+. Water is reliable with two bores feeding to all troughs and mature shelter belts dot the farmscape.
The superbly balanced flat and gently undulating property is well known heavy carrying country and all sown to permanent pasture and fenced into 25 main paddocks with full electric fencing and a laneway system. Notable views, an outstanding location and a scenic rural setting provide the backdrop to this fully functioning farm and most exciting opportunity - an amazing family lifestyle!
