Situated in the Ballarat Area 20 acres of rich fertile loamy volcanic soil. a lifestyle property with a 3 bedroom brick veneer house.

The house features a carport, 17 solar panels which reduce electricity costs,large sliding doors which let in plenty of sunlight and overlook the paddocks and the front of the property. The area in front is pasture paddocks which have been cut for hay which supplies extra income or can provide extra fodder for the winter time. And it is currently grazed by goats..

The rear and back portion of the property is partly bushland which supplies firewood as fuel for the property and there is a potential to expand this into production for sale. There 3 chook sheds 2 small and 1 large which can be adapted for other uses or used to house other types of poultry. Other shedding includes storage and a moderate sized powered workshop area. Also two open sided animal shelters have been placed in the paddocks for use by the goats and sheep but can be adapted for use by horses or alpacas.

The property has two dams which at the moment are completely full due to recent rains but have the capacity to be full to overflowing on some winters see photo's. The house is currently under renovations and gives a buyer with DIY skills or one looking for redesign of the house and interior an opportunity for changes. Potiential for expansion and improvements on all areas of the property. The front paddock fences have been recently improved and upgraded to hold goats.

The farm is situated in a picturesque area between the small hills of Buniyong to the south and the hill of Warrenheip to the north east. 10 minutes from the regional city of Ballarat and close to the popular tourist attraction of Soveriegn Hill.

Schools and shops reasonable distances away in Ballarat or neighbouring small townships. Vendor selling for health reasons.

Vendor has recently put in new improvements in the property since original listing including a new carport and verendah extension on the house side of shed to suit his need to work undercover in bad weather. Some fences have been replaced or upgraded. Photo's show scenes from other seasons in the year as well. AN ADDITIONAL PADDOCK BEHIND THE FIRST DAM HAS ALSO BEEN RECENTLY FENCED IN TO CONTAIN GOATS SINCE THE PROPERY WAS LISTED. The extra fencing improvements cost the vendor an additional $4000 + but we have not altered the selling price to include this additional investment.
