There is something to be said about river frontage. Kildalton Farm delivers 108 acres of the ultimate private river lifestyle.

With a beautiful stone homestead overlooking the river along with a renovated four-bedroom guest house, this is not your everyday “river shack”.

Established as a holiday home for horses by the legendary Colin Hayes AM OBE, this property has since been extensively upgraded by leading horse trainer Tony McEvoy and his business partner Wayne Mitchell.

For those with an equine interest, this is a ready-made property for educating and spelling racehorses. There is also a broad range of opportunities for those looking for an annual return coupled with an idyllic lifestyle retreat.

Set on three titles with 600m of stunning river frontage, state-of-the-art fencing, upgraded irrigation system and site use of up to 1000 megalitres of water, this property makes sense on several levels. The opportunities longer term could also be significant (STCA).
