A traditional breeding property, it is steadily increasing stock-carrying capacity and is currently wintering approximately 3,100 ewes, 800 hoggets, 200 MA cows and 100 other cattle.

This has been achieved with approximately 50km of new internal fencing, good bulldozed farms tracks, winter crops and recent fertiliser inputs.

The property has a good balance of contour including easterly, southerly and north westerly aspects and is mainly medium to steeper hill with some flats at the front.

Farm buildings include a four-stand RB shearing shed, several implement and hay sheds and good sheep and cattle yards.

A well-maintained three-bedroom homestead situated on an elevated setting, two-bedroom self-contained unit and older four-bedroom cottage complete the picture.

The sale of Mt Mason represents a wonderful large scale purchasing option with potential to further enhance.
