1 MOUNT MORRISTON, ROSS MT MORRISTON Mt Morriston is a historic fine wool property, which is situated on the banks of the Macquarie River on the outskirts of Ross. This iconic property hadn't changed hands for 175 years until Japanese textile baron Ken Fuji bought the property in 1996, where they continued to produce some of the finest wool in Australia. The present owner has helped drought proof the property with a half share in a 7500 mega litre dam and added a massive amount of infrastructure including 6 pivots and kilometres of underground mains. Three other sites already have centre blocks installed and pipe work from installed pumps. There are also at least 6 more large pivot sites close to the river and power. The sandstone colonial house is nestled near a wide stretch of the Macquarie River and was rebuilt after a fire in After years of extensive renovations by the current owner, the homestead now consists of 10 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and extensive living areas. An Aga stove has been installed in the kitchen. The house is complimented by well preserved sandstone and blue-stone stables, barns and private court yards.
