RYEDALE HOUSE Circa 1848

The property is fully fenced with plentiful water, a spring fed creek on the northern boundary, 2 dams, 4 pumps, 3 water tanks, horse yard, stables, tack room, holding yard and loading race, double garage. The house grounds are surrounded by post and rail fencing and gardens that would befit the finest English home complete with citrus orchard and chicken run/aviary.
