Great care has been applied to this rural property in terms of pasture renovation and overall care, maintenance has been paramount.
Water is plentiful with 8 dams, all of which hold water through the summer months. There are two bores (one of which is unequipped), and there is 65,000-gallon total water storage for the property.
There are two distinct raceways throughout the property and 14 main paddocks, providing good access and the movement of stock within the farm and to the cattle yards. The fencing on the front of the property (120 acres) is mostly electrified.
The shedding is extensive with an old timber frame three-sided storage shed, a 40′x20′ shed with 50% of the shed offering concrete floor and fully enclosed, another three-sided timber frame shed, a high roof 30′x30′ three-sided shed which can store twelve 5m x 4m round bales, a stone and brick quoin dairy plus an adjoining galvanised iron and steel section of approximately equal floor. The cattle yards are extensively built with steeling yarding, raceway, vet crush facilities and loading ramp. Next to the homestead is an 18′x20′ lockable shed with gravel floor. Another 30′x30′ lockable shed offers three-phase power and concrete floor. There is also lean-to section and finally a modern undercover two-car carport.
The garden and grounds around the homestead are extensive with stone lined rose beds (over 100 roses), bulbs, shrubs and mature trees. The fowl run is neatly confined within the garden and is fully enclosed. There is an orchard, which offers Apricots, Pears, Plums, Apples, Boysen Berries and Peaches.
The homestead is well sited to capture the views, particularly from the livings area and the main bedrooms, also from the large vine clad pergola/decking area and the back deck – the views are quite stunning. There are 10′ ceilings throughout and a brand new roof has been installed over the whole of the homestead. Accommodation is very spacious, in particular the master bedroom with wide open picture book windows and a double sided walk-through robe. There are four bedrooms in total, and two bathrooms. The formal dining room has an open log fire and the large lounge has a slow combustion log fire. There is Jarrah flooring throughout. The JAG kitchen offers plenty of cupboards, Robin Hood extractor fan, Westinghouse hotplates, AEG wall oven, Panasonic microwave, Electrolux stainless steel dishwasher and a Kelvinator reverse cycle split system.
All in all a great near-city rural farm, offering a very real opportunity for ideal farm management and lifestyle.
