Ray White Rural Dayboro | Eumundi Selling Principal Vicki Pain has just broken the Dayboro record with the $5.5 million sale of 45 Old Cream Truck Farm.
On behalf of the Margaret Vrutocky estate, the family expressed they were delighted with the result.
Margaret Vrutocky was very well respected within the community, a proud and determined lady producing high quality milk and supplying it to Pauls/QUF and building the dairy herd of some 70 head of milkers at its peak, prior to changing direction and converting the property to beef cattle.
Not only was she successful with production and quality of her produce but was also an entrepreneur in her own right.
Ms Pain ran a textbook auction campaign for one of Dayboro's largest rural acreage properties set on seven titles.
“So we had 170 enquiries and some 83 inspections and attracted 25 registered bidders,” Ms Pain said. The eventual buyers were a family from Brisbane.
“Rarely in the district does a property come to the market with such gentle undulating acreage, rich fertile soils and 100 per cent usable. While each title varies in size the fundamentals are the same with near new fencing and water sourced from either dam or creek frontage."
The original 1900s home was restored in 2014. It’s a comfortable three bedroom home with a large deck overlooking the distant ranges.
Another family home on the property was built in 1985 and is a two story four bedroom with commanding views of not only the property but natural landscape and mountain ranges in the distance. This home is currently rented with excellent long term tenants who are happy to stay.
Originally part of Whiteside Station and eventually purchased by Phillip Morris in 1891. Philip built the existing cottage on the home block and raised nine children in it. In 1945 it was sold to Leslie Hoey and then Henry Durrant in 1946. Extensive renovations have been done to the cottage with some of the original timber still used in the residence. Old Cream Truck Farm originally started with the purchase of the 51 acres and what is today referred to as the home block and was purchased back in 1962 from Henry Durrant as an existing dairy farm.
