Nestled in the serene landscape of Beaufort, this expansive 20-acre property offers a unique opportunity for off-grid living amidst historical charm and natural beauty.
? A planning permit is already secured for the construction of a secluded 3-bedroom home designed for sustainable living, complemented by a spacious 3 bay shed measuring 11.76m x 8.84m.
? Steeped in history, the back of the property showcases remnants of an historic gold diggings site, evoking the spirit of Beaufort's gold rush era that began in 1858. This rich heritage adds a distinctive character to the land.
? The property features essential infrastructure for self-sufficiency, including a large open shed or animal shelter complete with a 3000-litre water tank fed by a filtered collection system.

? Atop the gentle rise of the property sits a thriving orchard, planted with nectarine, apricot, and apple trees, safeguarded against local wildlife to ensure abundant harvests.
? The land, predominantly cleared yet interspersed with scattered trees, provides ideal shelter for a variety of agricultural activities.
