Last Listing description (May 2013)

Self sufficient farm at 6 Reserve Rd Forreston (via Gumeracha) - 48 acres of splendour!!

Thinking self sufficiency & recreation? Looking for income earning potential? This farm offers a chance of self sufficiency with great water, solar power (plus mains power), heating and stock feed. Income can be earned from horse agistment, farm forestry sales, even hay sales!

The property has been redesigned and rebuilt as a quality horse property with the added benefit of endless riding in the Mt Crawford forest (direct access at rear). The farm is only 8kms from Gumeracha and in a beautiful recreational region that is second to none! The focus here has definitely been on the land so the house does need a few things done. Bordered by wide verandahs this solid brick home certainly has appeal. Nestled in an elevated position, it enjoys wonderful views across the paddocks and arena below. Work is still required to finish the residence but the basic bones are good. Currently it offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (including ensuite) plus kitchen/dine area. The best views are enjoyed from the large lounge which has a bay window.

There is also another family room plus quite a large sunroom that joins the two sections of the home across the rear. The residence also offers a carport (3.1 x 5.7m) with adjoining workshop (4.2 x 3.1m) all under the main roof.

Land: With its own 2.5km internal riding trail that leads straight into the local forest at the rear, this farm is guaranteed not to disappoint! There is a lovely mix of gently sloping useable land with sound pastures, shelter belts of scrub or farm forestry. This property is an absolute picture and sure to impress - especially with the views at the rear! Paddocks were re-sown, limed and fertilized in 2009. All internal fencing and much of the boundary fencing has been replaced over the last 6 years. There is solar powered Electrobraid for the horse yards with approx 10 specific agistment yards + 3 large grazing paddocks. Two separate small forests have been planted (approx 5000). Excellent asset and suited to harvesting as firewood (currently nearly $300 per tonne), furniture or posts/poles.

Water: An abundant supply from bore, dam, rain water tanks and recycled water. A large picturesque dam is positioned at the rear of the farm. It is connected to an intricate and extremely well planned watering system with 11 stock watering points. Tanks include four 7000 litre (4x7000 = 28,000 litres) tanks that feed into a 70,000 litre header water tank for house and garden. There is also a bore on site which feeds into an 8,000 litre header tank. A very well planned & maintained system.

Shedding & Arena: Hay shed (approx 9.2m x 7m). General storage shedding (approx 12.2 x 6.5m). Chook shed and run. Carport and workshop UMR with residence. Arena built by Hunter Brothers in 2006 for show jumping. Laser leveled with excellent drainage. Measures approx 25x35m, covered with an
