“One of the best farms in the district.” – That’s what the neighbours will tell you.
‘Butleigh Hill’ is a total of 122 hectares (302 acres) and will be offered for sale as two lots.
Lot 1 – ‘Butleigh Hill’ 68.68 hectares – homestead and farm outbuildings
Lot 2 – Maitland Road 53.43 hectares – land only
Set amongst very old Oak trees and hawthorn hedges, the ‘Butleigh Hill’ homestead and farm outbuildings are centrally located on this well known Cressy property. Machinery sheds, hay barns, a small shearing shed and an attractive brick store room circa 1840 add to the value.
The Cressy-Longford irrigation channel flows around the gently sloping contours of the land. Water troughs and dams are available to livestock. Historically farm management have focused on grazing of a beef cattle herd and prime lamb production. It has also been the home of many well known thoroughbred horses. Lucerne pastures are well established along with perennial rye grasses and clover. Cropping has been a secondary consideration in the past. However the fertile soil types will be an attraction to todays crop farmers. An irrigation water right will be transferred with the property title.
