Land:
Offering versatility and scale, 'Ingleby' is a substantial holding for the district consisting mostly of grey volcanic soils and alluvial river flats. Ideally suited to a breeding/fattening operation or cropping enterprise. A gently undulating heavy carrying piece of country with almost 4km of river frontage.
Homestead:
Originally settled by the Armytage family, the spectacular Georgian-style bluestone mansion was erected in 1861 together with matching outbuildings such as stables, coach house, workshop, staff quarters and blacksmith room. The homestead features imposing yet manageable proportions with the downstairs level comprising stately billiard and dining rooms, drawing room, sitting room, bathroom, laundry, kitchen and meals. Upstairs features 6 main bedrooms, sitting room and bathroom. A unique national trust listed residence and a true piece of Australian history, 'Ingleby' does require a significant restoration project to bring it back to former glory.
Water:
A very reliable water supply is serviced by the Barwon River and the reticulated stock trough system is equipped with an electric pump and a stock & domestic license. In addition, the sale also includes a take and use license of 50 megalitres which can be used for irrigation purposes. 'Ingleby' is located within a 680mm average rainfall district.
Additional Improvements:
In addition to the historic bluestone outbuildings, 'Ingleby' also features a steel machinery shed, cattle yards and a three separate cottages in poor condition.
Location:
An exclusive and convenient location, 'Ingleby' offers a wise investment for the future. Situated on the Northern banks of the Barwon River only 40 minutes from Geelong and the surf coast and 90 minutes from Melbourne's CBD. This is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase a property of such scale and history.
