Tranquil and relaxed with a blue ribbon address and income streams from a 400 tree olive grove and successful short-stay rental cottage overlooking the olives, this 12 acre (approx.) property is a superb way to experience rural living in style.
At the end of a quiet country lane and featuring a contemporary, light-filled limestone residence and vine-covered entertaining veranda, bring your dreams of country life to fruition either as a fantastic weekend farm escape or immerse yourself full time in the seasonal rhythms of the farm.
Architect-designed, the Mt Gambia limestone residence features two living areas beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, an open fireplace and built-in wood heater, split-system heating and cooling and rustic glazed stone floor tiles, while the master bedroom offers a spa ensuite beneath an atrium window.
Two other bedrooms are served by the main bathroom and there is also a dedicated home office.
With a view over the rear lawn and hedge to the olive grove beyond, the kitchen is the heart of the home and features black granite benchtops, a step-in pantry, stainless steel appliances and ample bench space to cook up a feast for family and friends.
Located privately at the edge of the grove, the attractive two-bedroom farm stay cottage is currently returning about $30,000 a year with lounge area, bathroom, main bedroom downstairs, a second loft bedroom and veranda to enjoy the view.
There is also the property's original three-bedroom farmhouse that could be renovated for additional accommodation, along with shedding that includes an open two-bay shed and workshop for vehicle parking and another open two-bay shed and enclosed crushing room with equipment.
