Outside, as you would expect is a delight. An outstanding mature garden compliments the setting, and frames features such as the solid brick double car garage with adjoining wood storage area. Also the full sized, sealed tennis court, which connects to a BBQ area, and rich soil veggie garden. Add to this a large traditional timber shed/ workshop, which sits out back with a mature, well established orchid.
Water is not only collected from the buildings but delivered from the Western Creek in abundance, so as to satisfy all domestic and stock needs.
The landscape of the 14.5 acres is relatively flat with only slight undulation. It has over time grown crops, raised premium stock and produced quality hay. Suitable for horses, or stud stock breeding, it is sure to fulfil a raft of rural options.
