The southern end of Southrose is characterised by heavy, productive country suitable for annual cropping, hay production and also features three centre-pivot irrigated sites and a 629 mg water licence. This is also the location of the imposing main homestead. Set amongst expansive lawns and established gardens, the five bedroom, double brick home has both formal and informal living areas, two bathrooms, open fires, reverse cycle air-conditioning and a separate office and laundry. All of this is complimented with an in-ground swimming pool, tennis court, cricket pitch and two car garage.
Adjacent to the homestead are the stud facilities made up of a substantial ram shed with automated feed system, feed room, open skillion and 2500 capacity yards.
To the north is a newly built, three bedroom home with polished concrete floors, floor to ceiling windows, huge entertainers kitchen, reverse cycle air-conditioning and a north facing hardwood deck. This modern, light home with views in all directions, would be ideal as a manager?s residence or used to create a farm-stay / bed and breakfast income.
The final residence on Southrose is a three bedroom workman?s cottage which is located amongst established trees and would be ideal for a couple or young family. Well laid out with built in robes in the bedrooms, slow combustion heater, separate dining and lounge and a family bathroom, this house has recently had new carpet and flooring laid.
The northern end of the property is also home to the fully automated QA accredited 8000 head feedlot, the four stand shearing shed, yards and large workshop.
