5 Hester Place

White Peak WA 6532

The property blends beautifully into the nature reserve, and it is hard to believe that a semi-rural suburb (and one of Geraldton's nicest at that) adjoins it.

2002 built, double brick homestead features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, study and double garage. Beautifully landscaped gardens, with rock features, surround this lovely house. These fit seamlessly into the existing native vegetation. Its position on the landscape is equally as stunning, with the homestead tucked up against the hillside. The position of the house, with rock-walled terraces enhancing its elevated position, provides stunning views of the Indian Ocean, the local topography, and the farmland.
Apart from the homestead and shed areas, all of "The Ponderosa" is productive, with about 80HA (200 acres) arable. District agricultural best practice applies to all enterprises, with lime sand applied and strong rates of fertiliser applied. Sandy loams produce excellent hay crops, with 1500 round bales grown last season. Normally 100 ewes and progeny are carried. Cattle have been run until recently.

Infrastructure on "The Ponderosa" is excellent, with cattle and sheep yards, a 9m x 18m machinery/shearing shed (single stand). The fences are mostly ringlock, with either barbed wire or an electric top wire, and in excellent condition. There are also some internal electric fences.

"The Ponderosa" has scheme water through the property, which is gravity fed to water points (with an additional electric pump to the house). Additional water infrastructure is outstanding with five dams, two 45,000 litre tanks for livestock, seven additional tanks for water storage and security, and one 22,700 rainwater tank for the house.

Eight solar panels sit on the machinery shed, with the inverter supplying power to the property, supplementing mains electricity.

There is nothing left to do, "The Ponderosa" has it all.
