Situated in the locality of Argyle, and approximately 20 minutes drive from the major regional centre of Bunbury, this well located and early selected property has sealed road frontage and approximately 1.58 kilometres of the Preston River frontage.

Currently operated as an pear orchard, with most trees on trellis, the property has strong river loam soils and areas suitable for grazing or vegetable cropping, with an allocation of 276 megealitres for irrigation drawn from the river at 2 points serviced by
3 phase power supplies, pumps and filters. Mainlines and trickle irrigation lines take water to most points of the proprty, with water drawn under the current allocation is at no charge.

A solid 4×1 brick and tile home, with attached garage and verandahs, provides comfortable accommodation, while a large coolroom and shed complex is in excellent condition and houses 2 substantial coolrooms and shed space of appoximately 27m x 13m (concrete floor and 3 phase power). At various times in the past both coolrooms have been leased out to other orchardists or fruit merchants, which has provided a not insignificant return for very little outlay. Adjacent to this complex is an older shed which contains old coolrooms, machinery storage area and a workshop. Water for the home is provided from storage tanks connected to the main shed and pumped to the home via an electric pressure pump.

Being close to Bunbury and within easy reach of many of the South West tourist attractions presents an opportunity to those considering tourism development, in this case as an example chalets sited along the river could be well worth consideration. As well under half of the land area is utilised by orchard, buildings, roads, etc,
marron and fish ponds could be a further development worthy of consideration, particularly with the water allocation currently available.
As one of the original properties established in the Argyle area, the block has been utilised for orcharding since its inception. An old cool-room complex and cottage built during the establishment period of the property still remain on the property today, and could also be of significant benefit to a tourism developement.
