The property is one contiguous block, presenting as two connected, distinct areas:
The front part is predominantly cleared and fenced into 7 good-sized paddocks, where all of the infrastructure is positioned; including the main house, sheds, cattle yards and strong dam used to pump to the house.
The back portion, located across the creek at the back of the property, has clearings among lightly timbered sections. This offers a great mix of sheltered and grazing country.
The two areas are linked by a narrow timbered section with approximately 750m of seasonal creek frontage, accessible via an established track and concrete bridge.
Substantial set of as new, all-steel cattle yards are ready for use. The property is fully fenced, with all fencing both internal and boundary in good to excellent condition.
This property also comes equipped with 5 sheds, including:
Small garden shed
Larger workshop/garage
Original slat-board blacksmith shed
Newer round-roof open machinery shed, adjoining to a closed-in timber slat shed suitable for storage or animal shelter
The 7 good sized dams are located mostly across the front of the property, with one positioned near to the house equipped with a pump and pump shed providing water to the house and great potential for further livestock water infrastructure. A large dam and with the creek are already in place to service livestock in the rear part of the property
The property features a mix of hardy kikuyu and native grasses on well-draining soils.
Stunning views are made available thanks to the western outlook over the sandy flat valley towards Bluff River, providing spectacular afternoon views across the picturesque landscape
Solid 2 bedroom house conveniently positioned atop the hill at the front of the property. Already having foundation work performed having been restumped, just like the rest of the property there's nothing needing to be done. Equipped with reverse-cycle air condition, wood heater and rain with dam water backup, this cosy house is ready to move in. Some modern updates while retaining original features, such as the original wood stove likely made in the still-standing blacksmith's forge behind the house add lots of character.
