Sauvignon Blanc. The remainder of the property features open and undulating improved grazing
pastures with scattered coverings of trees for stock protection including 8 hectares of protected
natural habitat. There is ample water for stock and gardens from 6 dams (2 spring fed). Normal

The property includes a North facing ten year old double brick home of 200sqm with all internal
wall construction of Hebal Sonoblock for quietness. All floors are Italian ceramic tiles and the two
main bedroom windows are double glazed for winter warmth. The house was designed to be
maintenance free and so it has proved for the period of occupation over the last ten years. The
house is surrounded by an easy care garden with a mixture of native and deciduous trees with
spectacular views from large picture windows to the North, East and South. There are three
large double bedrooms plus a study or fourth bedroom. The main bedroom includes an ensuite
and walk-in-robe. Features include an open plan living area, a large kitchen with Corian bench

the living area leads out onto a paved BBQ area. Adjoining the house is a large two bay 30×40
colour bond farm machinery shed with a sliding door providing a secure section which has power,
a concrete floor and pot bellied stove. The shed is connected to a 26,000 gallon concrete water
