These joys of nature add to the productivity of the land, the bird life and total rural atmosphere of Koorana.
Located on the end of a private road, this rural oasis offers an interesting benefit of ownership.
At the rear of the house is a range of fruit trees such as apricot, apples, cherries, peaches, pears and nashis.
To the north is a large orchard with 90 per cent apricots plus cherries and almonds which has commercial potential.
