The current owners stewardship of this outstanding property has ensured its immaculate presentation. It literally doesn't get much better than this! Situated only 7km from the town centre on a scenic tourist route in what is referred to as Manjimup's prized dress-circle location, amongst some of the most productive Southern Forests region's farms.
The farm is currently being used for high grade horticulture with 4 hectares (approx. 10 acres) of highly productive, fully netted apple orchard plus netting over another hectare (approx. 2.5 acres) ready to go. There is approximately 1 hectare of aged avocado trees. Currently the owners are agisting cattle on the balance of the land, which can be expanded into high grade horticulture if one desires. With past foresight and vision, the property enjoys the luxury of a valuable 140 megalitre water supply from 2 dams (fully licenced), which will support any future horticultural expansion and development, plus 3 marron ponds. Along with the beauty of the lay of the land, the dams in themselves are a stunning feature of this property. The orchard and the property have fully automated irrigation throughout for ease of operation.
