Recently I spoke with a local man that told me about growing up on a property up at The range. Upon asking about his childhood, he radiated contagious enthusiasm about wandering over the creeks and dams, catching yabbies and rabbits, a real own boys own adventure, also enjoying the home his father had hand built, including the open fireplace built from stones found on the property back in the 1950s.

Some weeks later by coincidence, we have listed this wonderful place. There have been several owners over the years, with the current owners taking great pride in further improvements over their past 31 years.

Things they have loved about the property:
Lying in bed listening to the sounds of ducks and frogs.
Stepping onto the deck from the master bedroom to admire the views over the dams and countryside.
Watching cows amble and kangaroos bound over the paddocks.
Enjoying the local environment throughout the various seasons.
The morning sun in the lounge room.
Cosy rooms with large outdoor entertaining.
Relaxing on the large decked verandah.
The great outdoors with peace and space.
