The fencing is generally in good condition with 3.5km's of new fencing. Tracks have also been cleared for more holding paddocks.

Our beloved home still retains traces of its vintage charm, with hardwood floors, timber windows featured throughout and our wonderful Everhot Deluxe 204 Woodstove which exuberates continual warmth throughout those long winter nights. The homestead affords three decent sized bedrooms, serviced by a central bathroom with a bath, vanity and toilet (septic). An appealing kitchen flows into the lounge and dining seamlessly.

Outside the Homestead, a 6.2 x 4.9 metre Craft Studio with lighting, power points and the rustic appeal of yesteryear awaits you. Perfect for indulging in various crafting or artistic endeavours, or can even be transformed into a Man Cave, or an additional bedroom.
