High rainfall hill country in South Gippsland sells with the old dairy, not the house

With the farmhouse neatly excised from the sale, the $800,000 price was a handy return for its owners.

Located at Mountain View, 23km south of Warragul and 130km from Melbourne, sheep have been running across its steep paddocks of late and not dairy cattle.

With 40 hectares (99 acres) of fertile rolling to steeper country, the block features lush pastures courtesy of its good soils and the region's high average rainfall of around 1000mm.
