Owners comments:
'For fifteen years we have enjoyed the peace and serenity of our 100 acres at 116 Ryrie Hill Road. It is only 1.16Km off the highway but so quiet and beautiful and an easy commute to town. We have loved living the dream, enjoyed breeding South African Merino sheep, riding horses and welcoming visitors who have never wanted to leave! We will dearly miss the property, however, due to health issues the time has come to hand the dream over to someone else.nProperty features:
