27.51HA (approx 68 acres) of beautiful gently undulating country, fertile loam soils over clay primarily arable apart from a few stony outcrops. The property is watered by 5 catchment dams plus a spring fed creek and seepage well providing a secure stock and domestic supply. It is fenced into several paddocks and the majority of the land is currently leased to a local farmer. The old stone homestead was built by Mr William Christopher Holme, who s descendents still live just around the corner on Deep Creek Road. Like so many homesteads back at the turn of the century the home is nestled along a permanent water source which assured water for not only for the settlers but also their treasured livestock.
The homestead with its wide verandas, high 12ft plus timber ceilings, numerous open fireplaces and stunning timber floors retains much of the character and charm of the era. The original first two rooms are suggested to have been built in 1885 with a further two rooms added around 1890. A more recent addition now adds a new dimension to the dwelling which now comprises of 3 original bedrooms 2 with open fires, large formal lounge and a spacious country kitchen with adjoining family/meals area is complete with a combustion heater. The kitchen is large and spacious and features exceptional bench and storage cupboard space. A modern bathroom with separate toilet, vanity room, shower and spa bath and second toilet completes the homestead functional floor plan.
Adjoining the main home via a breezeway, is what would have been an old stone store room and produce cellar. This area has now been converted to guest quarters and is self contained with bathroom, kitchen and mezzanine bedroom.
