If you like swimming in natural waterholes, a quiet afternoon fish or watching the abundant bird life, then this is your new home.
The property is 195 acres and sub divided into 11 paddocks all with sound fencing. With excellent cattle yards – a stock shed, hay shed, machinery shed and workshop – the property is set up ready to go. Granite boulders and rocky outcrops are scatted throughout the property with timber consisting of red gums, yellow box and apple gum. The pastures are native and consist of about 40 species of grasses. Organic practices have been used since 2000 with bi-annual application of biodynamic sprays. Over the years lime, dolomite and gypsum have also been applied.
The main homestead is of mudbrick, timber and sandstone construction and surrounded by well-maintained, picturesque gardens that blend into the natural environment. Enjoy an afternoon drink on the open wooden deck that extends from the lounge room. The home consists of two generous sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, living room and a galley kitchen. Polished timber and cement floors, raked ceilings and leadlight windows complement the building’s design. There is also a mudbrick studio situated next to the main home.
Water is definitely a main feature of the property. With a one kilometre frontage to the Gwydir river water can be pumped into existing dams, of which there are four. There is also a bore situated on the property at a depth of 42 metres and pumps 3000 litres/hour.
There is also a 125000 litre concrete house tank and several poly tanks for the collection of fresh water.
