"East View" was purchased by the current owner approximately 2 years ago with the sole purpose to base the successful Ravensdale Poll Hereford Stud on a show case property with emphasis on pasture, water & fencing. No expense has been spared in the development to date. The stud has now been relocated to Southern NSW due to business commitments. "East View" offers the incoming owner one of the most outstanding properties of the district with breathtaking house sites overlooking the property and district.
