Situated east of Donnybrook is this 50 acre farm with all the hard work complete. The property sits on a winter creek that feeds into the Preston River, and includes a big dam, a crows nest dam & deep bore suitable for irrigation to the productive clover and rye pastured red soil paddocks.
The large modern 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom homestead has a spacious entry which leads into the well appointed open plan modern kitchen & living area. With a parents' retreat at one end of the house, and four big bedrooms down the other end, this is a wonderful family home well suited to farming life with a big laundry & bathrooms.
The front alfresco patio looks out over the saltwater 10m x 5m swimming pool. The back patio, gabled garage, plus veranda offers plenty of shade and winter shelter around this big home.

The house faces northwest with views, and offers privacy and security. All the water is set up to a very high quality finish. All the paddocks are immaculate and the fencing will hold sheep & horses, and has electric offset and ring lock in some parts.
