A piece of pastoral history has been listed for sale near the Grampians in western Victoria.
The property - Barrahead - is a portion of the original Victoria Valley run, established in 1838 by Thomas Woolley, and it is being offered for the first time in over 100 years.
The Mirranatwa property's 482 hectares includes a four-bedroom homestead which was built in 1859, a three-stand raised board wool shed with steel bugle yards, and numerous machinery sheds which have been kept in excellent condition.
Additional accommodation is provided with a tidy, three-bedroom cottage also included on the property.
There is a second set of steel sheep yards, and large ephemeral wetlands which provide substantial bird life.
All points of the property provide commanding views of the Grampians.
Stock is also available to be purchased by the buyer.
