LAND
The property divides into several, distinct categories being the home area of approximately 2ha, the cleared pasture country being approximately 10ha, the preserved, natural bush areas and the creek frontage, environmental areas. The property was created by the present owners and has been purposely designed to allow for the best of quiet, rural living, care of the environment and genuine, self-sufficient living. The soils rang from decomposed granite-type soils to grey loam soils with the cleared areas being sown down to phalaris, clovers and ryegrass species. Shade trees have been retained on the cleared areas. Present owners pass their efforts and results on for further improvement.
PROPERTY UTILISATION
Although the property has no organic certification, it has many attributes that would assist in obtaining such certification. In times of an ever-increasing demand of organic-type produce, consideration could be given to such an enterprise. The property, as it now stands and will remain, could adapt to several, small, intensive farming enterprises as a purchaser may wish to pursue, whether it be vegetables, cut flowers, free-range poultry, free-range meat or a native nursery. The options are many, the water will assist and the privacy is invaluable.
PRIVACY
The property is accessed by a no through road amid and adjacent to genuine farming properties, principally cattle breeding enterprises. The property is bounded on two sides by crown land with gateway accesses to kilometres of bush riding tracks and nature reserves.
