Rosevale, Mansfield district farm listed
Melbourne stockbroker Steve Gillon has listed his Victorian rural holding at Merton-Mansfield for auction with expectations of more than $1.2 million.
The 75-hectare Rosevale is an elegant country retreat with a productive beef cattle farm and stud.
Gillon, and his wife Di have held it for 35 years.
Located in northeast Victoria, Rosevale is 8 kilometres from Lake Eildon, an hour from the snowfields of Mount Buller and two hours from Melbourne.
It has a stock holding capacity of 400 head of cattle and is a full blood Wagyu cattle operation with associated sheds, cattle yards and storage. There are nine spring fed dams and a new electric bore that that feeds a holding tank for the stock and residence.
The Rosevale homestead is a graceful trophy home with sympathetic extensions built by local craftsmen. It has five bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and large formal and informal living rooms. A large fireplace is built from antique Hawthorn bricks.
Listing agent Matt Childs from Pat Rice & Hawkins says the estate is likely to attract lifestylers given its productive pastures and the nature of Rosevale as classic rural retreat.
It will be auctioned on site on November 8.
