The three bedroom brick home catches all day sun, showcases fabulous rural views and is surrounded by lush pasture with good fencing. The property is then surrounded by 100's of acres of adjacent plantation and natural bush offering kilometres of tracks for horse riding, walking or bike riding. A short walk down the road is a trout filled river where you can swim, fish or sit by and watch out for the Platypus.

The house does need quite a bit of renovation, but it was well built in 1980, and can happily be lived in while renovating is being done. Have fun applying your own colours and ideas to the house while you enjoy not paying rent.

Two of the three bedrooms have built-ins and the open plan lounge / dining area is very spacious and makes good use of the sun and the views. On the roof there are 12 solar panels and a solar hot water system. There are two large rainwater tanks and a septic sewerage system. Town power is connected, but you can choose to live off grid if you wish.

Around the property there is lots of shedding and outbuildings - this is where the story gets very interesting!

A large double garage and a garden shed, both on cement slabs, sit next to the house. Alongside is a woodshed. In the next Paddock is a large tractor shed and horse stables. Further into the next paddock is an old dairy shed which could be repaired and used. Elsewhere you will find a chicken coop and a large wooden shed that is falling down.

The 'pice de rsistance', however, are the two original farmhouses that stand in a sad state of disrepair, daring you to come closer and feel the history.
Built around 1896 they could still be renovated, but this is a job not for the faint hearted! A brave renovator will be rewarded with sightings of baltic pine and pressed tin and possibly the odd convict brick, as well as trailer loads of remnants or rubbish from years gone by. If renovated these houses could make intriguing B&Bs or guest houses.

This is a truly lovely property surrounded by nature and an abundance of wildlife. A joy for anyone wishing to feel at one with nature.
