“Rosewood”

Gloucester, NSW


Overview: “Homestead”, “Bakers View” and “Top End” all form what has been

known as “Rosewood”, a recognised and successful Gloucester district

cattle operation.

“Rosewood” has been held by the present owners for 30 years and only

3 families prior since settlement.

During this period, which will be evident on inspections, is the owners

care and maintenance of the well presented homes and improvements.

The current management have implemented and maintained annual

timber and weed controls and have been diligent in their fencing

programme.

Productivity: “Rosewood” as a standalone cattle operation is presently capable of

running between 190 – 230 cows and calves. However, with further

timber and regrowth control and the implementation of a pasture and

fertiliser programme there is excellent potential to increase the cattle

numbers.

Fencing: A feature of “Rosewood” is the fencing with approx 80% having been

renewed in the past 12 years.

Constructed using timber and/or steel posts with 4/5 barbs, the

property has been sensibly subdivided into grazing paddocks which

compliment the management of the livestock operation and the

topography of the overall property.

Rainfall: The average annual rainfall is 900 - 1,000 mm 38-40 “.

Water: The security of water on “Rosewood” is without doubt one of the main

features of the property.

The property enjoys an approx 2 kms single and double frontage to

Bakers Creek, which is then supported by a number of spring fed

gully’s and a total of 20 dams.
