'Apatula' is suited to a wide range of pursuits - horse training, a small seedstock enterprise, intensive horticulture or just put up your feet and enjoy an idyllic lifestyle farm.

PROPERTY DETAILS:

Size: 6.3ha (15ac) of quality alluvial soil

Pasture Development: 6.5 acres under crop, 4 acres of lucerne over-sown with oats and 3 acres of mixed improved pastures (13.5 acres in total).

Irrigation/Water:
36ML irrigation licence from fully equipped well which has remained reliable even during severe drought.
PVC irrigation mains throughout mean you can water every square metre of this productive small farm. The owners have consistently cut more than 60 bales of lucerne hay to the acre over the past 24 years.
Other water infrastructure includes 3 x 20,000L concrete tanks providing plenty of fresh rainwater to the house.

Fencing/Paddocks:
Separated into 4 main paddocks.
Excellent fencing with a combination of post and rail and 6 wire fencing with electricity to more than 50% of the property.

Infrastructure:
Excellent facilities that would be ideally suited to a horse training or small seedstock operation with cattle yards and covered cattle crush with water to yards; a stable and day yard and a good size steel arena (30m x 15m) plus ample room to park horse trailers and trucks on a gravel hard stand.
Hay shed (15m x 22m)
Machinery shed (19m x 13m)

Homestead:
The 5 bedroom, 1 bathroom rendered homestead was constructed largely of recycled materials and boasts high ceilings, a cosy wood burner stove and reverse cycle air conditioning plus French doors to most bedrooms.
The huge front verandah takes in the view of the lucerne flats along the Hunter River and Kingdon Ponds through to Rossgole, while the views to the east take in Segenhoe Mountain and the nearby village of Aberdeen.
Comfortable country style kitchen with ample storage space, stainless steel oven, cooktop and rangehood and a combination of gas and electric cooking.
Storage is excellent with built-in wardrobes in four of five bedrooms, a linen press and pantry.
For the creative people in the family, two of the bedrooms have previously been used as a music recording studio and have built-in input / output infrastructure in place, while the light-filled sunroom at the rear of the house makes an ideal artist studio.
Freshly gravelled driveway and hard-stand with circular drive for easy access.

Other features:
Looking to be self-sufficient? The property boasts an established vegetable garden with this summer's heirloom tomatoes already growing, established asparagus, young fruit trees, olives, large chook pens and a quaint mudbrick garden shed for raising seedlings.
The owners have not used chemical sprays on the property for more than 20 years - making it an ideal proposition for intensive fruit, vegetable or garlic production.
A brand new kit for a three bay Colorbond garage (cream and mist green with three roller doors) is available for sale separately.
