Nestled in the heart of Beaconsfield Upper, Caversham Heights Farm is a remarkable 75-acre property brimming with rich history and stunning natural beauty. Dating back to the 1800s, the land was once owned by the Kitchen family, renowned for establishing and operating the iconic Toomuc Valley Orchards for over five decades. This farm was once part of the largest apple orchards in the Southern Hemisphere and has also been home to racehorses and played a significant role in Australia's largest dairy venture.
The present owners have undertaken significant improvement works to the property. These include clearing and ground levelling works to a proposed new building site and reinstatement of the property's access roadway, which allows access from either Upper Beaconsfield or Toomuc Valley/Pakenham directions. In recent times, the owner has carried approximately 15-20 cows/calves comfortably. For those with an interest in horses, there's a formed 20x60m Olympic riding arena and endless safe riding opportunities.
Today, Caversham Heights Farm offers an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity, combining history with modern amenities. The picturesque property features lush gardens and serene views, making it an idyllic family retreat. A central feature of the property is the converted original dairy, now a spacious and inviting cottage, where you and your loved ones can relax and unwind. Surrounded by 75 acres of fertile land, the farm offers a stunning 360-degree panoramic view, from the breathtaking vistas of Western Port Bay to the sweeping hills of the Toomuc Valley.
At the entrance, you'll be greeted by handcrafted post-and-rail fencing and automatic gates, providing both beauty and security. The property is also equipped with two 4 million-litre dams, serviced by powerful diesel and electric pumps, ensuring ample water supply for irrigation and fire protection.
