A rare opportunity to acquire one of the Riverina's historically significant holdings with a homestead of grand proportions. 'STUD PARK' offers exceptional options to create your chapter in the history of this remarkable holding in a very private setting. It is 25kms north of Deniliquin on Stud Park Road - about a 3.5 hour drive from Melbourne's Tullamarine airport.

Designed by renowned architect Archibald McKnight a student of Canberra's Burley Griffin, the impressive Spanish Mission pise c1930 residence was the headquarters of the extensive Millear properties that developed the Peppin Merino sheep line.

'STUD PARK' has rammed earth pise walls to insulate against the summer heat and store warmth for winter. The homestead features eight large bedrooms, generous hallways, five bathrooms, large dining room, two spacious sitting rooms, unique ballroom, two kitchens, walk-in-pantry, a linen room and a gazebo for entertaining. The homestead's unique features have been preserved in their original style including eight fireplaces, local Murray pine floors, high ceilings, Borneo cedar doors and window frames, spacious bay windows and an Aga stove.

Long established gardens surround the homestead. Garden paths, shrubs and trees set against expansive lawns create a private haven for family, friends and entertaining. The garden and house are protected from wind and storm by more than 70 magnificent Sugar Gum trees up to 60 feet tall - all watered by the Pretty Pine Prior Stream which runs year-round about twenty feet under the garden. These picturesque trees provide nesting areas for native birds. 'STUD PARK' is a safe oasis on the edge of the Hay Plain for native wildlife.

The homestead and garden are watered by a stock and domestic water licence supplied from the Blighty Six irrigation channel which borders the northern boundary. There is a 3 mega litre irrigation licence with an outlet and meter. Water is stored in a turkey nest dam connected to the house and channel. There are 2 large underground water tanks and electricity to a bore into the prior stream.

'STUD PARK' has 124 acres subdivided into five paddocks. The original woolshed is still standing - the original 12 foot high double box wool press can now be seen in the Deniliquin Peppin Heritage Centre. Other features include original large steel sheep yards, large modern steel cattle yards near silos with underground electricity connected.

'STUD PARK' is a unique homestead and property. This private and preserved jewel from Australia's iconic wool boom era presents a rare and rewarding opportunity now.
