Overview

Gloucester's Trophy Country Estate

Matcham Park offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Gloucester's premier country estates, combining highly productive agricultural land, exceptional water resources, and a grand homestead of impressive scale and refinement.

Land
Spanning approximately 212 acres, this versatile property features rich alluvial river flats under irrigation transitioning to rolling grazing land, representing some of the finest agricultural terrain in the Gloucester district. The land benefits from a long history of fertiliser application and pasture enhancement, with multiple paddocks supporting high-performance perennial pastures alongside vigorous summer-growing varieties underpinned by kikuyu and clover. The property currently supports a herd of 70 cows and calves, demonstrating its excellent carrying capacity. Thoughtfully divided into 15 paddocks with dedicated laneways, the layout is ideal for rotational grazing. Established seasonal and native trees are scattered throughout, providing character and shelter.

Water
Water security is a key feature, with 1.2 kilometres of frontage to the Gloucester River and a water access licence supporting irrigation. A 180-metre centre pivot irrigates the river flats, powered by a mains pump drawing directly from the river. A second mains pump services stock and domestic needs. Twelve stock troughs are distributed across the paddocks, supplemented by four dams and seasonal creeks, ensuring reliable water supply year-round.

Homestead
The grand homestead, approximately 1,000 square metres, sets a benchmark for rural living in the region. Designed for elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living, it features a large open-plan kitchen with stone benchtops and dual islands, anchored by an open fireplace, the heart of the home. The kitchen flows into spacious dining and lounge areas, creating a connected living space. Additional rooms include a billiard room, a second lounge with a full bar and fireplace, a master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe, three large bedrooms with built-in robes and balcony access, a main bathroom, a study or fifth bedroom, and a laundry with a second bathroom. Outdoors, a covered alfresco with fireplace extends the living area, and a porte-cochère provides covered parking. Beautifully landscaped gardens surround the residence, offering privacy and timeless charm.

A recently renovated second dwelling across the road is currently tenanted, providing rental income and suitable as a manager's cottage, guest accommodation, or family quarters.

Infrastructure
Supporting the property's productive operation, infrastructure includes a lockup shed with carport for vehicle storage, a lockup and open-bay machinery shed housing farm equipment and a workshop, topped with solar panels to reduce power costs. The original dairy building includes a coolroom, ideal for agricultural or lifestyle uses. A large hay shed stores hay and silage, and steel cattle yards with an undercover crush complete the setup.

Location
Matcham Park enjoys a prime location just a short walk from Gloucester township, offering rural privacy with immediate access to town amenities. Bordering the Gloucester River and opposite Gloucester Park, a popular recreational area, the property offers an irreplaceable lifestyle and outlook. This is country living at its finest, without compromise.
