Shadow Creek, a spectacular country estate and working cattle property, featuring a palatial ranch-style residence and its own helipad, suitable for potential Melbourne commuters, has been listed for sale by LAWD.

Set against a backdrop of the picturesque Strathbogie Ranges, 10 minutes from Avenel and half an hour from Seymour, Shadow Creek is a combination of premium rural estate and highly productive grazing and cropping land, expected to sell for circa $15 million.

The 312* hectare property is currently carrying 400* Black Angus cattle, including 150* breeders, and has potential for intensive cropping to complement the beef production.

LAWD Sales Executive, Patrick Kerr, described Shadow Creek as a unique offering.

“Shadow Creek is really unrivalled as it combines a highly improved rural retreat with all the infrastructure for a working cattle stud or commercial operation,” Mr Kerr said.

“The property is a landmark asset. It is an ideal expansion opportunity for established farmers in the region; or it could be a family or luxury retreat for high-net-worth individuals from Melbourne; or a secure investment with showpiece homestead for global business operators.”

Set amidst sweeping lawns, Shadow Creek’s glamorous residence covers 2,053 square metres and features bespoke blackwood timber, six bedrooms with ensuites, a high-end kitchen with European appliances and lift access to multiple living rooms, a theatre, bar and cellar.

Guests can enjoy 270-degree views from the terraces and a new swimming pool with multiple entertaining areas. Further accommodation includes a four-bedroom guest house and a self-contained unit.

Secure water for the estate is provided by a stock and domestic bore fitted with an electric submersible pump that feeds a desalination plant supplying a 200,000* litre water tank. The water is gravity-fed to a network of troughs and the Shadow Creek accommodation.

Indicative of the high quality of infrastructure are the steel cattle yards, where 725* square metres is under cover, with concrete flooring, steel frame with a gable sheet metal roof, bugle race, crush, scales and loading ramp. The covered work area features lighting, electricity and its own water supply.

The 1,850 square metre steel machinery shed with a concrete and earth floor is connected to the electricity and septic systems and equipped with a toilet and shower.

All fencing on Shadow Creek is post and rail and electrified. The property features an internal laneway and road system to ensure efficient movement of stock and transport.
