Located 22 kms east of Donnybrook, and within 45 minutes drive of the regional city of Bunbury, this early selected 847 acre property comprises 3 titles and has income from both private and leased blue gum plantations, along with grazing of approximately 300 acres.
Split by the Preston River the property has frontage to the sealed Boyup Brook Road, and access from a sealed arterial road.
Ideal for an astute buyer with an eye to the future, the property has potential for future subdivision, when the existing plantation lease expires, expected to be about June 2014.
In the meantime income from the lease and grazing, along with sale of some hay and return from the private plantation, once it is harvested, give a steady cash flow.
Buildings are all located on one of the titles, a 47 acre block which fronts onto Boyup Brook Road on its southern boundary and the Preston River on its northern boundary.
Some of the buildings have historic significance, in particular the circa 1893 home, built predominantly from bricks fired on site and pit sawn timber cut from the property.
The sellers still occupy the home, which in more recent times has had a 1 bedroom self contained flat added, along with air conditioning in the lounge-room and gas stove and hot water system.
A lockable double garage is positioned adjacent to the flat.
The home, flat and garage are set in extensive reticulated gardens and lawns.
The sheds are all in good condition and include 2 hay, machinery, 2 bay workshop, and historic shearing shed built predominantly with bush poles and timber slab walls and an iron roof.
Both the shearing shed and workshop are connected to an underground power supply.
Combined cattle/sheep yards are equipped with a cattle crush and loading ramp.
Water for the home and gardens is supplied from an equipped bore, along with a rainwater tank, while livestock water is from the river, a dam and a waterhole.
A large dam located towards the northern end of the property, is within an area now planted to blue gums and bordered by a large block of very scenic native bush, and which is now used by the sellers and their family as an enjoyable and private recreational resource.
