***INSPECTIONS BY PRIVATE APPOINTMENT ONLY***
Steeped in local history and formerly part of the original 3,000-acre Ardchattan property established by Archibald Macfarlane, this remarkable approx. 120-acre rural holding presents one of Arthurs Creek’s most significant opportunities. Once connected to the early horticultural settlement precinct—home to pioneering families such as the Macfarlanes and the Smiths of Glen Ard—the land carries a legacy of productivity, character and community heritage.
Today, the property offers an exceptional blend of highly usable farming land, equestrian and livestock infrastructure, captivating views, and two dwellings—including a large modern primary residence (approx. 15 years old) and a classic character homestead ideal for multi-use accommodation.
Privately positioned, beautifully undulating and thoughtfully laid out, the acreage transitions from wide, well-sectioned paddocks to an elevated homesite, accessed via a picturesque tree-lined laneway and framed by rolling valley vistas. From horses to cattle, cropping, grazing or hobby farming, the land offers exceptional versatility with outstanding supporting infrastructure.
