With an area of approximately 7 acres on two titles this is a property with so many options for use, development and potential income. Set within the village of Roland and incorporating what used to be the Roland Railway Station and end of the line. It has historical and tourism appeal as well as cottage or boutique farming opportunities.
People often stop when travelling past to admire the mural depicting the Train Station in past days, and to admire the backdrop of Mount Roland. In fact the homestead, first built in approximately 1910 was in fact the Roland station masters residence during the period the railway operated.

The weatherboard homestead is set on the smaller of the two titles (1012 square metres) and is a well presented example of early 1900′s architecture that has been tastefully renovated and included some thoughtful and cost effective additions including increased window area (with aluminium framing), and skylights both helping maximise natural light; insulation and reverse cycle air conditioning for regulating and efficiency of climate control; 2.3 KW Solar power inverter connected to the grid that on saves a substantial aamount per quarter on average power costs to the current owner. Also in the past two years guttering and fascia have been renewed, as rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in a 7,000 gallon concrete tank for domestic use. In the same period a new verandah and patio area has been constructed as an outdoor leisure and entertainment area.

The home also features an open fireplace that is maintained in working order, that also has a removable Perspex cover that allows the fireplace to remain a feature when not in use without allowing draft or insects to access via the chimney. With the windows replaced the living are is flooded with natural light, while a cleverly designed vertical sliding screen allows for closing off for additional privacy during evenings. Two generous sized bedrooms, one of which also features a sunroom that may double as a craft-room or is perfect as a nursery for a young family, particularly as it has an easterly aspect to the morning sun, and therefore will not be subject to the heat from direct sunlight during afternoon “nap time”. The third bedroom is a single, or may be used as an office, although there is a small office or store room independent of the three main rooms.

The kitchen and dining room are open plan with breakfast bar, and spacious dining area for table and chairs for more formal or traditional family dining. The main living area of the house features traditional high ceilings that give further impression of space, and as with many early colonial homes features skillion extensions for wet areas including bathroom, laundry and toilet. The bathroom facilities feature shower over bath, vanity and separate toilet.

The property features a three stable complex with feed room, and has water connected for stock supply or wash down. Water for stock, garden, laundry and toilet is supplied from a very reliable artesian well. The property also has three small dams that supply stock water points. Outbuildings also include a barn with capacity for approximately 350 small square bales, zincalume garden shed, general purpose storage or wood shed, and a small studio or play shed with power connected.

The property is divided into approximately 7 paddocks, although gateways and end assemblies allow for return of a number of paddocks to further division. The land varies from flat to undulating areas, and has some ideal flat areas for use as arena, erection of round yards or jump areas for the equine enthusiasts, and would be ideal for utilisation for tutoring or field or open days for people involved in pony club or other group or private training with the paved station platform providing a perfect spectator site.

With the history of the property it also has enormous potential for development as a tourism attraction (STCA), and some of those thoughts will happily be discussed with a potential purchaser. The fact that the property has two titles should also be a significant advantage with any development applications. This is a productive small farmlet ideally located to make the most of cottage industry with its exposure to passing traffic, as it is on a significant tourist route.
