AREA: 26.89 hectares or 66.4 acres
SITUATION: Glenrockie is in an enviable location, just 2km out of the regional town of Manilla, on the banks of the Namoi River. Manilla is a deceptively busy small town, with a primary school, high school, hospital, several hotels as well as a busy agricultural hub. The town also serves as a gateway to outstanding cattle country to the North, mining areas of Gunnedah and Boggabri to the west and the bustling regional city of Tamworth only 45km to the south.
COUNTRY: A gently undulating parcel of land, the +- 66 acres slopes from the roadway to the Namoi River and would be well suited to small scale agricultural and recreational pursuits. Fenced into approx. 8 main paddocks, grasses at present are natives, but the land would accommodate permanent tropical grasses and annual fodder crops.
WATER: Water is a key feature of this property with Glenrockie being connected to town water, 14 megalitre unrestricted water licence, 2 dams, rainwater tanks, and 4 troughs gravity fed from the tank ensures livestock and domestic needs are met. A diesel pump on the Namoi pumps water from the river to the home and surrounds. An underground irrigation system allows for easy watering of the large expansive established trees, lawns and gardens.
HOME: The home is a key feature, perched on a rise overlooking Manilla and the Namoi river farmland. Built of double brick, the homestead beautifully blends contemporary style with traditional heritage decor and period features. It features six spacious bedrooms, including an oversized master suite complete with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and direct outdoor access. Multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces are highlighted by the heritage-styled formal sitting and dining rooms that showcase original pressed tin ceilings, while a generous family room features a cozy wood fire, perfect for winter nights. The Tasmanian Oak kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop, electric oven, and new dishwasher, leading seamlessly to a large tiled verandah with easterly aspects, ideal for entertaining. For year-round comfort, the home is fitted with reverse cycle ducted air conditioning and ceiling fans in all bedrooms.
Outdoors there is a large patio / entertainment area overlooking the landscaped gardens, as well as a fully enclosed pool and cabana area, making it the perfect space to hold gatherings, parties, Christmas get togethers and the like.
IMPROVEMENTS: The property includes a range of fit for purpose improvements including an outstanding machinery shed with a concrete floor, three bays at the front and a truck parking bay at the rear, basic set of timber and steel cattle yards and a quality hay/fodder/machinery shed adjacent to the yards.
REMARKS: A quality property in a terrific area, meeting all the expectations of a quality lifestyle holding. Location, water, outstanding home, bitumen access, mail and bin collection, it's all here. Vendors have relocated and the property will be sold. Please call Riley Gibson on 0417441688 for further information.
