Land: Approximately half of the 152 acre block is under a combination of natural grasses and improved pasture with seca stylo, pangola, rhodes, humidicola and seteria present, the remainder the hillside behind the house rising to natural rainforest and scrubland. Fenced into 5 main paddocks, each with water points, 1 with approximately 20 mature bowen mango trees. Set up for cell rotation, there are also 4 smaller paddocks and a combination of animal shelters along the laneway linking everything to the yards.

Water security and features: Set up around the property are a total of 10 x 5000gal tanks which serve a combination of rainwater by pressure pump to the house and storage of pumped water from the permanent creek under a livestock licence by way of solar powered submersible, which gravity feeds to all stock troughs. A picturesque dam which holds well, and your very own swimming hole with waterfall in the permanent spring-fed creek that flows along the bottom boundary.
