Within the property is an elevated house site that catches all day sun. With an easy, well-formed access that lends to an idyllic site it is easy to imagine an off-grid log cabin taking pride of place where you take in 360-degree views over the farm. Complete with a multi bay implement shed and a strong, well-built load out and yard facility, the property is set up with good infrastructure, and having vehicle access to most of the grazing area of the property, everything is in place to enhance or kick start your existing or new farming venture.
The water supply comes from a stream flowing on farm and is pumped via a modern solar pumping system to storage tanks and reticulated to all paddocks.
Pastures are well grazed and reflect regular fertiliser applications historically each Autumn, based on the farm's fertiliser representative's advice after soil testing, the recommended fert application is dropped over the grazing area. The property is fenced to a fair standard, with conventional post and batten and internally with a solar electric unit, not including the native bush area.

With 12 hectares mowable for making supplements, the balance of the terrain in grass is rolling to medium hill. Being in an area known for an evenly spread annual rain fall, the property is located against the bush line and is considered a good summer farm. While the winter does present times when the property is frosted, the climate is such that most winters see grass growth and with supplements, animal health and well-being can be easily maintained. The property is currently grazing dairy replacement stock and fattening young stock making an ideal addition to a dairy unit or as a property to purchase then lease. The opportunities within this attractive fertile block are many.
In all, this is an appealing grazing / lifestyle unit, located in an area known for its great climate, good soils and ease of farming.
