1900 acres freehold title of pristine bushland abounded by 12 klms of Shoalhaven River.
Access to the boundary of this very private lifestyle retreat is via an all weather access road that is approximately 7 kilometres from Oallen Ford road.
Once there, the homestead on the property is ranch style home with a wide shady veranda all around. The home has 4 bedrooms; an ensuite off the master; modern and functional kitchen with gas cook top as well as a practical wood stove; a separate dining area; laundry area and main bathroom with shower and bath. The building is fully insulated; has polished Victorian Ash floors and colonial windows and doors. The effect of this in the living space is warm and inviting in winter and shady and cool in the summer. There is a slow combustion wood heater also at one end of this space.
The home is powered by an effective combination of LPG and generator power. There is a total of 95,000-litre water storage capacity; a large established organic garden/fruit orchard. Water is supplied to this, outdoors taps and sprinkler system from a petrol pump and underground pipes from the nearby dam. There is a landline phone service and a satellite broadband connection to the Internet.
There is a carport attached to one end of the house for convenience. Nearby is a 7.3 x 12.2 metre steel framed, colour bond machinery shed/workshop with access door and roller door.
An approved wildlife sanctuary of 460 ha has been established over the rugged northern half of the property. This area is exempt from local government rates. Within this area is an identified but not surveyed 5-acre area that the owners saved to allow for an opportunity for a second dwelling. The views from here are spectacular looking over toward the gorge of Australian flora and fauna; with the Shoalhaven winding it's way past.
Another feature of the property is the 'southern beach'. There is a rough driving track leading down to this area to another point of the Shoalhaven that has not been used for years. There is a sandy beach and a plantation of 2000 pine trees. Although not suitable for grazing, this property offers a wide range of recreational activity.
The property is 2.5 hours south west of Sydney, 1.5 hours north east of Canberra and 1 hour to the south coast at Nowra.
