Calling all nature lovers and dreamers! This is your chance to own a piece of rural paradise the sprawling 230-acre "Waterview" property in the picturesque Dungowan Valley.
On a high plateau looking over surrounding farm lands sits the very comfortable 3 bedroom brick veneer family home. The home is 20 years old and was built with comfort and convenience at its principal core. The kitchen has plenty of bench area, as well as modern appliances such as electric hotplates, electric wall oven, range hood, dishwasher and a large area where even the biggest fridge will fit. The 3 bedrooms are large and all have 2 built in robes. There is carpet on the floor for added comfort. Central to the home is a large office which looks out to the Courtyard. From the open plan living/dining and the kitchen area you have the most jaw dropping views. There is plenty of natural light flooding into this area. It is a special place where family members and friends can gather. Year round comfort is ensured with a split system air conditioner.
There is also an abundance of practical storage space. Attached to the house is a double carport. For convenience there is a 2nd bathroom available in this area. This bathroom features a shower, vanity and toilet. A great idea if you need to dust off' before going inside. The laundry has plenty of room and is a functional space to work and move around. The additional storage is a bonus.
The house runs on rainwater. The easy care garden features a courtyard at the back of the home. The garden is watered using bore water.
Sitting on an even higher plateau is a one bedroom cottage. This practical cottage features a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom (with builtins) and living/dining area. There is a split system air conditioner mounted on the wall in the living area. The cottage is metered separately for electricity.
The yard is fully fenced. The shipping containers are excluded from the sale. There are 2 poly tanks - 1 for rainwater and 1 for bore water. The tanks are interconnected meaning you will never run out of water. There is potential to utilize the cottage for rental income or as a guest house.
There are 2 bores on the property. The equipped bore is operated pumpjack style with a Lister diesel motor. The bore is 170 feet deep. It has never run out of water however during the drought the pump was lowered to 100 feet as the water pressure was not adequate. The bore pumps to a holding tank which sits between the main home and the cottage. The water gravity feeds to troughs and can also be used at both the main home and the cottage. The other bore has been cased but it is unequipped.
A central spring flows into a ground tank near the bore. The spring has never gone dry. There are an additional 3 earth dams available.
Should it ever be needed water can be pumped from Hodgkiss Creek for livestock and domestic use.
The large machinery shed is steel framed with a corrugated iron exterior. At one end there is a lockable workshop. The workshop has electricity connected and there is good overhead lighting. An endless chain is used to easily operate the large roller door. The height of the workshop is great and allows access for all different types of machinery. A cement floor in the workshop means machinery can be worked on in a practical and purpose built area. There are several powerpoints and plenty of basic shelving. The work bench is excluded. The workshop size is approximately 6m x 6m and is lockable. To complete the machinery shed there are 3 bays available for housing machinery or storing hay. This particular area is approximately 14m x 6m. It has a dirt floor and in previous years has been filled with bales of lucerne hay produced on the property. The shed is currently being used to house sundry farm equipment and a small amount of hay. It could easily be converted to stables as water is connected to this shed and there are outdoor power points. The property is subdivided into 10 paddocks. The boundary is fenced and the majority of the internal fences have electric capabilities. Approximately 70% is arable and clearing over the years has been selective and well considered. There are several valleys with a good covering of grasses such as kikuyu and couch. The are some recreational climbs to the peaks and ridges. Travelling around the property is relatively easy via the access roads. There is good mobile phone reception. All paddocks have water and troughs.
The cattle yards are centrally located and truck access to the yards in not a problem. Water at the yards offers the perfect opportunity for induction of stock prior to their release out to the property.
