If you are looking for a rural property full of history and charm then this is the place for you. The same family has enjoyed this property for 40 years which includes the lovely country cottage that is nestled in a sheltered location with big views over the original settler’s cottage and down to the creek. The picturesque creek is permanent and runs through almost one kilometre of the property and has held up even in the worst of the drought. Many an afternoon could be had lazing by the water holes having family picnics in your own private space or just taking walks along the creek.
At different times the property has been run as a small stud of Romney Marsh and Southdown sheep, an Angora goat enterprise and has in the past 12 years turned off 60-80 prime fat lambs each year. There is potential here to run horses as the property has many sheltered areas for animals to retreat to on winter’s nights, there is plenty of room to enjoy a ride and other horse properties are not far away where there are friendships to be made with like minded people.
The property has a quality, fully functional 2 stand wool shed with a huge wool room where a tack room could be set up and still shear a few sheep as well. The 25ha is divided into 7 paddocks and can support up to 120 sheep. The substantial electric water pump is used to pump water to the house yard and to troughs with just the turn of the tap and there are also 2 large water tanks that supply water to the house.
This property is unique in its position being surrounded by large sheep and cattle properties providing a sense of privacy and independence.
If you have any interest in history then this property also has its own original settlers cottage which is well over 100 years old and has been used as a hay shed and sheep shelter, but for the enthusiast it would be a historical restorers dream come true.
Hoskinstown is only a 15 minute drive away where a wonderful community spirit exists. There are Bush Dances and other occasions held at the local hall including a community Christmas party where Santa visits the kids and at Christmas time Carols by candlelight are held at one of the local churches.
Properties like this don’t come on the market for sale very often. Don’t miss out on this one.
