Not often does a unique opportunity like this become available. Nestled amongst tall Gums and native Australian Bush, this property offers 320 acres of Tranquil existence, complete with a gracious, custom, six bedroom Homestead. The beauty of this property is that you can just move right in and keep it all for yourself, or you can explore one of several opportunities to provide an income.
Situated in Glenbar Road, Aramara approximately half way between Maryborough and Biggenden, the property boasts three major creek lines with numerous dams and waterholes. In the past it has run up to 40 head of Cattle, and still has timber cattle yards and a steel crush. The Property also grows commercial native hardwoods consisting of Ironbark, Yellow Stringy, Spotted gum and Messmate. These have been harvested approximately every 10 years and there is an Approved Notice of forest practice in respect of the property. The Trees rejuvenate quickly and the harvesting has always had little impact on the overall appearance and ecology of the property.
The Homestead is built of a Sandstone Block with three metre verandahs on all sides. It features a Large timber country style Kitchen with centre Island, large downstairs Lounge and Dining Room with Fireplace, as well as three downstairs Bedrooms one of which can be used as an office if preferred. The downstairs rooms are serviced by a full sized Laundry, Separate Bath Room and Toilet, and has timber features many of which were sourced from locally. Upstairs are three Bedrooms, two bathrooms and a family room, timber floors and Tasmanian Oak and pine features. Currently these rooms are being used as B&B style Accommodation. One is presented as a master suite "Diggers Rest" a large bedroom with ensuite including a spa bath, and its own private balcony. The other "Tree Tops" is presented as a two bedroom unit with separate Family room and bathroom. Both units are complete with fridges, microwaves bedding and furniture.
There is access to a total of 20,000 gallons of tank water. The various out buildings include a large Jolliffe style shed and a 5 bay machinery shed. Both sheds are timber and steel construction. A small Bush shower and toilet block has more recently been added to accommodate campers to the property.
The Owner says "this place has been our happy place for more than 30 years. Just to sitting on the verandah gives you a special peace that makes you never want to leave. Listening to the many native birds is a joy, and a bush walk to the waterholes and dams is so good for the soul. The place has such huge potential. In the early days we had over 20 acres under small crops, but those areas have longed returned to native bush. From time to time we have run cattle and horses, and more recently the dream has been to share what we have with others by making it available for accommodation and camping. We also played with wedding and event options and did host one country Wedding but time has not allowed us to put any energy into this option. Selling is a decision made with much sorrow but unfortunately none of us are getting any younger and with age beating us we need to relocate"
The property is only 30 minutes from town on a bitumen road and is being sold complete, walk in Walk out, with schedule of inclusions that will allow the successful buyer to operate the accommodation side of the business from day one should the choose. Alternatively, if you would like it all to yourself, it is all there ready for you to begin your new life - just move in and enjoy the peace and Tranquillity.
