As you enter the winding 250 metre sealed driveway, you are greeted by the majestic colonial homestead (circa 1898) set amidst large fig trees and rolling pastures. The home was tastefully renovated approx. 15 years ago and has been kept to the original design with all timber finishes. Interior includes five large bedrooms, master with character ensuite, 11 foot ornate pressed metal ceilings, 20 metre central hallway, wide breezy verandahs on three sides with French doors to balconies from all bedrooms and a large intimate dining room with double sided brick fireplace. The all recycled timber country kitchen with large island bench is centrally located for all family meals and guest entertaining. The large study and laundry/ironing room all add to the impressive proportions and presence of this unique home from this bygone era. The original renovation was architecturally inspired to retain the character and originality of this fine country residence.
The property includes a second dwelling, a tastefully renovated three bedroom Caretakers cottage approx. 100 metres from the homestead with its own separate entry and is currently tenanted. Outbuildings include a large 23 X 9 metre machinery shed with 4 roller doors, 6 metre height, 3 phase power, workshop and open machinery awning. The home has a separate garage with parking for two cars and adjoining carpeted utility room with loft, several other machinery sheds and buildings are on the estate including the original Dairy farm work shop from 1927.
Originally a mixed farming and dairy concern dating back to the early 1900′s, today these rich pastures carry approx. 40 steers for cattle fattening. The property is fully fenced into 10 paddocks. Six paddocks close to the homestead cover over 50 acres of gently undulating pastures with kikuyu, couch and a range of native grasses. Water is available through 4 dams and a number of lagoons and seasonal Native Dog Creek and there is a working set of stockyards. Balance country being 4 larger paddocks of mixed grazing and bushland with stock water connected. The owner has established the infrastructure so the property is easily managed by a single operator.
The property is a corner block which has 480 metres of road frontage and is bordered on 3 sides at the rear by national parkland with never to be built out boundaries. Too much to detail here, the owners are retiring and have made the decision to sell the family farm after almost 20 years of ownership and only second time to market in 75 years. This exclusive property could be your unique private country estate or livestock stud for a pastoral/equine breeding program as it is ideal for cattle and horses. Other options are country style B & B, various tourism or recreational pursuits (motor bike parks etc) or even lucrative agri-tourism applications which are all within Council zoning guidelines.
