This beautifully established rural holding of 49.06 hectares (or 121 acres) presents a prime opportunity as an entry into farming or for those downsizing from larger acreage without sacrificing an idyllic life on the land.
It's impeccably presented in every aspect, reflecting the high level of care the owners have paid to the land, livestock, home and outbuildings over the years.
A long driveway leads to a delightful cottage at the heart of the property.
The kitchen, bathroom and laundry have been modernised and sport sleek cabinetry and new appliances. A dishwasher, pantry and gas cooking make the kitchen a pleasant and practical workspace.
In addition to a comfortable lounge with a wood fire, there are three impressive outdoor areas, all sheltered and with options for relaxing or cranking up the barbie.
One bedroom is queen sized, the second is a double, and both are carpeted.
The house block is mostly in grass with fabulous gardens, native trees attracting a diversity of birdlife and a stand of tall gums sheltering the home and sheds. There's also a chook run and fruit trees.
Gently undulating, the land is well drained with four dams, three soaks, and a cased bore throughout seven paddocks, and lush grazing pasture suited to running cattle, sheep or prime lambs. It is all cleared with original vegetation strategically retained for stock shelter.
Fencing is Ringlock and electric in good condition, with new steel gates to each paddock. In one paddock are sheep yards with a shearing stand and a loading ramp; in another are steel cattle yards.
Outbuildings include a three-bay open-fronted machinery shed with power connected and a workshop area at the back.
Next to this is a lockable two-bay workshop with sliding doors and there's also a shipping container with a lean-to, a lock-up storage shed and a chemical shed.
Another major benefit of this property is its self-sufficiency for power and water. It featires several rainwater tanks to provide abundant supplies for the home and gardens, and a fully off grid solar system for power.
Zoned Priority Agriculture, this is an outstanding property in a desirable rural area approximately 30 odd minutes' drive from Albany. It presents an idyllic lifestyle with everything in place for a profitable farming venture.
