"It just grabs you straight away. It is an exceptional property."

John, and his wife, Kaye, bought the property without haste after their first inspection, and have enjoyed cropping across its 1801ha ever since.

John said he purchased Molonga in immaculate condition, and it is clear it has been impeccably maintained during his ownership.

The property has excellent fencing throughout, and a good central laneway system for easy management.

John has grown wheat, barley and oats in recent years but said lucerne and clover have also performed well in the past.

Molonga has excellent grain and hay storage as well as extensive machinery shedding, cattle and sheep yards and a four-stand shearing shed.

The local mains water scheme is connected to troughs and the garden, and is also suitable for domestic use. There are also several full large dams.

The property has a comfortable four-bedroom home with two living areas and a large verandah.
