LAND
8.76ha (21.6 acres). Beautiful semi-secluded lifestyle acreage in high demand area. When entering the property, you are immediately bestowed with a sense of all that recreational living in the hills is about. The long driveway is tree lined and passes the stock yards and ramp, before rising in elevation on the approach to the shed and home. A glance behind you and the views over the property and the adjoining countryside are spectacular. The land is a scenic and useful blend of gently undulating grazing area and varying mixed gum country. This merger of natural beauty and rolling well grassed areas, allows for animals, either horses, cows or sheep, to reside alongside the kangaroos and other wildlife. Stringybark, wattles and majestic gums provide the beauty and an abundant source of firewood for the home. Centrally positioned on the land is a dam, which is filled from the generous amount of catchment. Enjoyment of this recreational property can be achieved with horse riding, motorbikes, running of stock or simply from the panoramic vista and setting.
