Located 16km west from Tenterfield on the corner of Bruxner Way and Woodside Road, this rural property comprises approximately 187.8 hectares in Lot 1 and 41.86 hectares in Lot 2, all level to undulating granite-based country.
Presently heavily grassed, "Lilyvale" is well suited for livestock grazing and has been destocked since the drought. Our vendor advised that he ran 80 cows and calves across the whole property during normal seasons along with some cropping.
The home is timber frame clad with weatherboards, with iron roof and timber floor and comprises 5 bedrooms, lounge with wood heater, dining, kitchen with fuel stove, office, storeroom, bathroom, toilet, front and rear verandahs and outside laundry. The home needs considerable work and expenditure.
Other structural improvments include a machinery shed, pig shed, 3 stand shearing shed, old machinery shed, fuel /store sheds, hay shed and silos.
"Lot 1" is watered by Saltwater Gully, 2 stock water dams and a number of rainwater tanks and has been fenced into 12 paddocks. "Lot 2" is watered by 1 dam and 1 spring and has been fenced into 3 paddocks.
The Townsend family have owned "Lilyvale" since the early 1950's and whilst regretful, the sale of the property must happen to finalise the estate.
