THE PROPERTY
Set on 12.4* hectares / 30* acres, "Rivergum Farmlet" consists of 2 property Titles and includes your very own private river frontage to the Acheron River.
Discover a harmonious blend of fertile river flat soil and lush pasture with stunning views across the Acheron Valley.
THE HOME
This home, featuring recent modern interior renovations, offers an instant "move-in" experience. Decorated tastefully in soft pastel greys and whites, this solid double brick 3 to 4 bedroom home, built circa 1970, exudes instant charm.
The open-plan living area encompasses a cozy lounge with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining area overlooking the rear of the property, and a beautifully renovated kitchen with a breakfast benchtop. Soft-close cabinetry, stone benchtops, subway tiles, modern light fixtures, and stainless steel appliances enhance the kitchen's appeal.
The bathroom, laundry area, and toilet have also been thoughtfully upgraded with quality fittings, vanities, and tapware. The bathroom showcases new wall and floor tiles and a spacious frameless free-standing glass shower screen, separating the shower from the generous vanity.
With 3 generously-sized bedrooms, a 4th room currently serves as a study. The convenience of internal access to an oversized double-car garage is a notable advantage, offering ample space for storage, toys, or a tradesperson's workshop.
DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY & PROPERTY IRRIGATION
Domestic water is via the original farm well and linked to modern filtration system with cartridge particle filters, sand and charcoal filters, and an Ultra Violet filter.
2 paddocks immediately to the rear of the home have a permanent fixed sprinkler irrigation system in place.
The region has annual rainfall in the vicinity of 768mm* providing for all-year round growing season and high stocking rate with good ryegrass clover pasture.
THE FARM
The property is zoned "Farming" and is securely fenced into 7 paddocks, featuring new, top-quality fencing with galvanized steel posts, and the entire boundary fence is electrified. All paddocks are equipped with water access, troughs, and lagoons.
The property was formerly a commercial apple orchard, renowned for growing quality fruit, and would also be very suitable for other agricultural pursuits including vegetable/horticultural production.
