Yes, if you”ve been out hunting for a property with a wonderful supply of clean quality water, a good cross-section of soil types & untapped potential, “Ravenscar” is just for you. Just a short 4 minutes drive from Murrumbateman village & 35 minutes from Canberra, Ravenscar is close to everything, but very private. With 80 acres of good grazing land neatly divided into 9 rotational paddocks, a double-creek frontage & 3 surface collection/spring-fed dams Ravenscar is already established & ready for you. Importantly, there”s enormous development scope for mixed grazing, horses, alpacas & feed cropping along the property”s alluvial creek frontages. One paddock of about 4 acres (which was the original orchard plot) could easily produce 3-4 lucerne cuts per year. Ravenscar”s creek frontages have been cleared of all noxious willow & replaced with 3,000 seedling-sized mixed variety native trees. To ensure that the seedlings get a good start to life the regeneration zone was newly fenced off from the general stock paddocks. still is) the property”s lifestyle epicenter. Its witnessed the raising of a now grown-up family & provided a comfortable safe haven for many years. The kitchen features 2 stove/ovens. One is a modern electric & the other is a traditional solid fuel cooker which I”m told turns-out fabulous crisp-skinned succulent roasts. At the rear of the home there”s an insect-free BBQ shelter that”s draped in deciduous grape vines. Its just the spot to rest the body & treat it to a frothy soothing “cuppa” on a warm Saturday afternoon. The homestead gardens are well advanced & include a typically productive country orchard of apples & mixed fruits. The gardens are irrigated via an alternating pipe system from the bore or dam. Ravenscar”s abundant resources & fabulous private position make it an excellent choice for a buyer with productivity & country flavour in mind.
