531 Werribee Vale Road,
Maddingley 3340, Victoria

Held by the same family for generations, three contiguous titles on the Werribee River are being offered to the market for over a century - bordering Werribee Gorge State Park, 155.56ha* on Melbourne's western fringe.

Overview

"Niagra Park" comprises three contiguous titles totalling 155.56*ha / 384.4* acres (Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3 on TP244883), forming part of a family landholding farmed continuously for generations. Zoned Farming Zone (Moorabool Shire), the offering blends fertile Werribee River flats, elevated grazing country and dramatic native escarpment, together with the original homestead site and irrigation water entitlements.

The Homestead

The original homestead site sits within the holding, reflecting the family's continuous occupation over generations. The interior of the homestead is being updated with a refurbished kitchen, living areas and bathroom, incorporating fresh new paint and floor boards. Surrounding farm infrastructure have had limited recent investment and update but the opportunity here is the land and location.

The Land

Access to "Niagra Park" is via the sealed Werribee Vale Road at Maddingley, a road that weaves along the Werribee River valley through rich horticultural land to the start of the Werribee River Gorge walking track.

On entry, the property's 200* metre driveway splits fertile cropping county on either side and leads toward the main homestead and a collection of sheds (some original to the property) used to store farm machinery and implements for decades. The homestead sits in a slightly elevated position, orientated to the east overlooking the driveway entrance and cropped fields. To the left is the Werribee River, to the right is a magnificent escarpment, to the west, a farm track crosses a short stoney rise that unlocks 30* hectares of arable private fertile Werribee River flats and native rising country reminiscent of outback Australia.

From an agricultural perspective, "Niagra Park" stands as a blank canvas suited to a range of uses - grazing, cropping, horticulture or a diversified mix. Predominant soil type across the district is red and brown chromosols, with average annual rainfall of 553mm^ recorded at the nearby Myrniong weather station. Southern Rural Water is the responsible water authority. Irrigation water entitlements included in the sale total 9ML, comprising 6.5ML high-reliability and 2.5ML low-reliability entitlement, as supplied by the vendor. Final entitlement volumes will be confirmed in the Vendor Statement.

The Werribee River & Werribee Gorge Country

"Niagra Park" directly borders Werribee Gorge State Park, with 1.85km* of river frontage and sandstone escarpments forming a private, secluded landscape adjoining Falcon's Lookout, Needles Beach and Blackwood Pool - a combination of privacy and natural setting not readily replicated this close to Melbourne.

Location

Maddingley sits in the Moorabool Shire on Melbourne's western fringe, within the Bacchus Marsh growing region. The Werribee River corridor and adjoining state park provide a rare pairing of productive farmland and accessible bushland recreation, with Bacchus Marsh's township amenities minutes away.
