ffered on behalf of DR & MA Nicholls, the portfolio is being offered for sale via Expressions of Interest as a whole or in five enviable lifestyle and farming properties (Lot 1 through to 5). Lot 1 is an architectdesigned three-bedroom homestead set on just over a hectare with spectacular views of the Gippsland Lakes, Ninety Mile Beach and Bass Strait as well as the townships of Seaspray and The Honeysuckles. The residence includes a large billiard room, handbuilt stone fireplace, fully enclosed sunroom and a full-sized outdoor swim spa on the deck overlooking landscaped gardens.
Well established, the homestead has an oversized double garage and large three-bay shed big enough for boats or trucks. Although only 3km from Seaspray village, Lot 1 and Lot 2 are served by a long, private road reserve. The long ridgeline that forms the backbone of Lot 2, named Dianella Downs, is the highest point on the Gippsland Lakes and the views are amazing. Lot 2 features a threebedroom residence on 144ha of grazing and cropping land and includes a 99-year agricultural licence over neighbouring land. Farm infrastructure includes a three-stand shearing shed, machinery shed with workshop, hayshed and kidding shed,
sheep and goat handling yard facilities, 16 paddocks, central laneway and numerous shedding for shelter in each paddock. The fencing design is 900-millimetre-high ringlock mesh topped with taut barbed wire and a stock and domestic bore supplies water to every paddock via troughs. Adjoining Lots 1 & 2 is Lot 3, “The Island”, which has easy truck access via two causeways. Lot 3 has 93ha of chocolate sandy loam soils which are remarkably productive and includes about 25ha of lucerne, down to a fresh-water table just 3-5 metres below the surface. The Island is broken into eight paddocks with new
