BATHURST / SOFALA DISTRICT 2800 ACRES, BREATHTAKING OUTLOOK

** UNDER FINAL INSTRUCTIONS TO SELL**

HISTORIC SOFALA the village of Sofala remains Australia's oldest surviving gold town. The narrow streets lined with many unique old buildings and the spectacular scenery of the surrounding hills, attract local and overseas visitors, and have attracted movie makers and artists to the area. Fossickers still search the Turon river and tributary streams for any gold that might still lie hidden there. This 2800 acre property is located just 10 minutes drive up the Turon River from Sofala, in the picturesque Upper Turon valley and features dramatic rugged mountains typical of the area. Plenty of scope for recreational activities and located within a comfortable drive of Sydney.

COUNTRY: comprises 4 titles and approx 1131.8 ha or 2797 acres. The land runs from the Turon River (approx 620m altitude) up to the higher tops (at between 900m and 950m) that provide such a picturesque outlook. Access is via the Razorback Road that connects the Turon Valley with the Castlereagh Highway. It is typically steep and mostly cleared but for retained shelter trees and some larger areas of original timber. This type of country has historically run merino sheep in the past, although there are no stock on the property at present.

STRUCTURES: There are no improvements of value, the only structures being an old set of timber cattleyards and a small, rough, 2 room hut.

LOCATION: approx 8 km from the Sofala, 50 km Bathurst, 75 km Mudgee, 75 km Lithgow and approx 2 - 3 hours drive from Sydney.

COMMENTS: Accessible either from the Castlereagh Highway, or from Sofala and the Turon Valley, the Council maintained gravel Razorback Road runs to and through the property, making for quite easy access. If you are looking for a genuine weekend escape offering breathtaking outlook over the Turn Valley and opportunities for outdoor recreational pursuits then this may be just right.

We are under instructions to sell this property by Public Auction at 10.30 am, Tuesday 25th September 2012, at Mezzanine Level, 50 Margaret Street, Sydney.
