Steeped in history and surrounded by the natural beauty of Monga National Park, "Maquariedale" offers an opportunity to secure a productive landholding in a tightly held, high rainfall area of Reidsdale. Known for its cool climate eucalyptus forest and temperate rainforest setting, the area is ideal for those seeking space, privacy and a strong connection to nature - whether that's 4WD exploring, horse riding or simply enjoying the walking trails close by.
Set on approximately 58.9 hectares (145 acres), the property was once a working dairy farm and continues to offer fertile soil and excellent potential for agricultural pursuits. The land is well supported by multiple water sources including several springs, three large dams plus an additional smaller one. Water storage is generous with an 80,000L rainwater tank and three additional 10,000L poly tanks. For those looking to work from home this property also benefits from 5G reception and Starlink availability.
The traditional weatherboard homestead was built around 1870, it is a warm and welcoming north-facing, positioned to take in natural light throughout the day. Character features such as spotted gum wide floor boards, trayed ceilings and a wide timber verandah wrapping three sides of the home add to its charm. The established cottage garden is a standout, thoughtfully planted for colour with bee and bird attracting flowers. There are lavender hedges, stone walls and winding pebble paths, alongside mature fruit trees including apple, peach and pear - once used to produce cider on the property.
Inside, the home offers three bedrooms and a functional layout with a blend of original character and modern updates. The kitchen is equipped with a 60cm four burner cooktop, 60cm oven and integrated dishwasher, while additional features include polished concrete flooring, LED downlights, a store room and powder room. Double glazing has been added to the newer section of the home, and a Rheem hot water system services the property.
