Located ideally half way between Sydney and Brisbane, between the towns of Armidale and Uralla you will find a property like no other. Not only is this 100 acre fully working farm located in one of the most prestigious spots in the area, it also includes in the sale, one of the most successful Farmstays in the region. That is all without mentioning the almost new, magnificent country style sprawling homestead that of course is built and fitted to the highest of standards.
Â
The homestead, being only 2 years old features 4 large bedrooms (the main bedroom with a simply stunning ensuite), large rumpus room, enormous laundry, his and her offices with private balcony, beautiful country style kitchen with granite bench tops and glass splash back, all built around a north facing deck with amazing views. The homestead has been built to the highest standards and features built in sliding mirrored robes in each room. That is of course excepting the main bedroom that has its own walk in wardrobe. Being New England, the house is strategically built for warmth, taking advantage of positioning, but also boasting features such as double glazed windows and insulating practically everywhere to keep you toasty and warm in winter.
Â
The property also features a separate 3 bedroom cute as a button cottage and this is from where the Farmstay is run. The Farmstay accommodates up to 7 people and will be sold as a going concern, fully furnished and operational. There is also room to expand and thus increase the business. Boasting an extremely good occupancy the Farmstay adds substantial profitability to the farm. The Farmstay is marketed towards families with children and is an interactive animal focussed experience and as a consequence includes excellent infrastructure to support this (such as dairy, poultry shedding, laneways, horse paddocks, etc).
Â
The farm itself consists of 100 fully arable acres with a large part comprising of basalt soils. The property also boasts the best water in its area and has a permanent creek that spans the length of the property (5 mega litre irrigation licence included). Down the back of the property contains some of the most stunning boulders and natural land formations you will find around. The property also boasts quite a colourful history which greatly adds to the Farmstay experience. The property runs up to 30 breeders comfortably and their progeny quite regularly top the local sales. All internal fencing is new and the property has been set up for cell grazing. Cattle yards and sheep yards are present, with no need to lift a finger when it comes to improvements.
Â
If you are looking for something…well a little extraordinary, well this is the property for you. Added to that a nice little income that is being made from both the farming side and the Farmstay, really where can you go wrong. For this property, inspection by appointment is strongly suggested as this property really needs to be experienced to appreciate it fully.
