Talk about the right location!
Less than 1 kilometre of sealed road from the Geraldton- Mount Magnet Road and 30 kilometres by road to the regional centre of Geraldton, is unique 'Glenburnie'. The property is set amongst rolling hills and breakaways.
'Glenburnie' is located in a 450mm rainfall zone.
The property will appeal to all sectors of the rural market, having approximately 276 hectares (682 acres) of land considered arable. Currently the property is used for grazing, carrying 450 sheep and 48 cattle.
A breakaway at the southern end divides the property dramatically. Soil types below the breakaway are strong sandy loams with York Gum, River Gum and Jam native vegetation. This soil type is well suited to a diverse range of agricultural and potentially other pursuits(think glamping, eco tourism). Above the breakaway are sand over gravel and lighter sand soil types, best suited to grazing.
The outlook from the breakaway is stunning, enjoying valley views. Beneath the breakaway are beautiful stands of graceful River Gums around waterholes.
Water is plentiful with a multitude of permanent soaks on the property, providing security year round. Additionally there are 2 boreholes, one with a submersible pumping from water almost at the surface and another from a windmill at 10 metres.
The boundary fencing is in good condition, with a large portion recently replaced.
The homestead at 'Glenburnie' is located at the foot of the breakaway and was built in the 1930's, with an extension added in the 1960's.
Thick wall provide relief from summer heat. Constructed of brick, with a galvanised tin roof (double insulation), the residence has 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and has evaporative air conditioner. A large formal dining room runs off a spacious and well laid out kitchen. A massive lounge room is a feature and a separate living and bar area joins the two different era's well. All bedrooms are large and spacious.
A large outdoor area is complemented by a swimming pool. A 3 car garage is built into the homestead.
There are 3 older sheds on 'Glenburnie', suitable for machinery and hay storage. A pig shed and a small shearing shed (with adjoining cattle and sheep yards) complete the working infrastructure.
Historic St. James Church joins the property. The church was originally located on 'Glenburnie'.
