Property Description
BONGALABI ‘As a Whole’
Bongalabi is one of the historic properties in the Goulburn/Lake Bathurst district. It was purchased by the current owners in 1985, and has since then seen a considerable makeover, including the renovation of the homestead, improvement to the beautiful garden and development of the property, in particular through conservation works with water ways and trees.
Agriculturally, the property is well developed with working improvements and an excellent mix of native (mainly microlaena and danthonia) and improved pastures (including phalaris, cocksfoot, rye grass and clovers). It is subdivided into approximately 19 paddocks with an efficient laneway system and well watered with catchment and spring-fed dams, the permanent Bongaralaby Creek and a reticulated water system providing water in many paddocks. The farm is capable of carrying approximately 300 breeding cows and has been the headquarters of a well-known and well respected Devon Cattle Stud.
Bongalabi provides an ideal investment opportunity for someone wishing to purchase a well located, productive and profitable farm.
HOMESTEAD
The magnificent, 2 storey, historic ‘St Clair’ homestead (1882) has been fully renovated and restored. The front of the house has a north to north easterly aspect with all living areas having views out to the beautiful surrounding gardens and allowing for plenty of natural light.
An ideal family and entertaining residence - the 2 storey home includes 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 studies, large formal lounge and open plan kitchen/breakfast area.
Surrounding the homestead is 5 acres of fabulous gardens which have been under development since the homestead was built in 1882
ADDITIONAL ACCOMODATION
Bongalabi is also equipped with a 4 bedroom weatherboard manager’s cottage and 2 bedroom staff cottage. Both have been rented in the past.
CATTLE YARDS
All steel cattle yards with a handling capacity of approximately 300 head. The yards also have Ruddweigh scales in built.
EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
The equestrian facilities include 3 stables, sand arena and a round yard.
WOOLSHED
The farm has access to a 4 stand shearing shed and sheep yards.
Although under current management the farm does not run sheep, the woolshed is in good order and would require minimal attention to become fully operational again.
WORKSHOP
The large weatherboard work shop is also used as a storage and machinery shed
