Set across approximately 183 hectares (452 acres) in the tightly held Upper Lurg district, “Bunyong” presents a substantial and highly appealing rural holding combining productive grazing country, reliable water, established farm improvements and a spacious character homestead. 

Conveniently positioned approximately 20 kilometres from Benalla and 28 kilometres from Wangaratta, the property offers an attractive balance of rural seclusion, agricultural capability and access to major North East Victorian services.

The country is predominantly cleared and gently undulating, rising from approximately 209 metres to 354 metres above sea level. Well suited to cattle, sheep and mixed grazing enterprises, the land features a productive blend of red loam soils, established pastures, shade and shelter trees, sheltered valleys and long, open grazing slopes. Average annual rainfall is estimated at approximately 775 millimetres, with low year-to-year rainfall variability. 

Water is a notable feature, with numerous strategically positioned dams and reliable bore providing livestock water throughout the holding, including a substantial dam conveniently located near the homestead and farm improvements.

The property is held across three separately titled lots, providing flexibility for ongoing agricultural use, succession planning or future investment strategies, subject to the applicable planning provisions and title restrictions.

The spacious residence provides three generously proportioned bedrooms, a separate study, two bathrooms, three living areas and excellent storage. The large open-plan kitchen, living and dining area incorporates a walk-in pantry and forms the central hub of the home. Two further living rooms provide considerable flexibility for family living, entertaining or quiet relaxation. Features include firebox, air conditioning, a separate laundry, multiple toilets and broad verandahs and decks overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Farm infrastructure is centred around a traditional timber-framed shearing shed with timber board, internal pens and overhead shearing equipment. Adjoining yards and handling areas support practical sheep and livestock management, while additional machinery, storage and general-purpose farm buildings complement the working improvements.

The property is predominantly non-woody grazing land. Digital agricultural services  independent modelling estimates a potential carrying capacity of approximately 13.8 DSE per hectare across the non-forested area, subject to seasonal conditions, pasture development and management practices.

With its scale, productive soils, multiple titles, abundant stock water and impressive rural outlook, “Bunyong” offers the foundations of a serious grazing enterprise together with the warmth and character of an established North East Victorian homestead.
