Movie set and wild man cave hit the market

Part of the property forms a steep embankment of large granite boulders, home to the local known as 'the Wildman of Tallarook', and known to have lived there during the late 1800s.

The large rock cave is still accessible and it has attracted scientific and historic interest.

Historically the property has been a staging set for Australian feature films like The Man from Snowy River and the Ned Kelly the Last Outlaw films, while several television productions have been filmed on the site.

The section of the steep granite escarpment falls almost 100 metres to the valley floor giving a striking exposure to the nearby Dabyminga Creek valley and across to the country around Broadford to the west and spectacular sunsets.

The vendors have built a steel-framed Colorbond shed on a concrete pad foundation under a permit granted by the Mitchell Shire for use for storage purposes or in which to brew a cup of tea.

It also has solar panels with internal lighting installed but is not permitted as accommodation.

Measuring 6 X 4.5 metres it also has a deck along one side while there is also a shire-permitted composting toilet on the property.

Selling agent Bart O'Sullivan says it will be up to the purchaser to negotiate with the shire if they wish to construct a permanent dwelling on the property.

This is a rare find and within such an easy reach via the Hume Freeway.
