THIS MAGNIFICENT LIFESTYLE PROPERTY, JUST MINUTES FROM EUROA IS A RARITY. Recommended for covenanting, the land has stunning, panoramic views. It overlooks the town, yet offers privacy and seclusion. Ideally suited to environmentally-friendly development, the property has access to mains power and telephone, as well as local facilities and regional centres, being just 50 km from Shepparton and 1 ½ hours from Melbourne via the Hume Freeway. Located in a 200 hectare habitat 'island' the site forms part of the headwaters of Castle Creek and retains a distinct range of remnant vegetation. In a 2004 Covenant Report at least two threatened species of plants, Hickory Wattle and Flat-leaf Bush-pea and two threatened animals, the Brush-tailed Phascogale and Speckled Warbler, were found. Ecologically the property comprises Grassy Woodland (vulnerable) and Granite Hills Woodland (depleted). Habitat quality is high. The land is north-facing with a diversity of plant and animal communities. Beautifully positioned, the permanent protection of this dry foothill forest area is warranted. From Euroa, take the Merton turnoff and go south over the Hume Freeway. 2 kms south of the Freeway, turn right into Wilkinson's Lane. The property is found near the end of the road on the left and has a sign on the gate.
