Perched up on the hill overlooking the valley, this home enjoys a lovely northern aspect allowing for great all year round sun. Positioned on 11.6 acres (4.73 ha), there is a great mix of lush pastures and a large stand of gums up the back. Within the gums is a large dam which is cleverly plumbed to gravity feed back down the hill to the house gardens, the veggie beds and the fruit trees. Offering 2 separate titles, this property also allows for future possibilities.

The house was originally built in 1910 and has had renovations over the years making it a very comfortable and spacious home, yet maintaining a lot of the original charm.

The kitchen is a galley style with a wonderful country feel to it. The new cooker is set in the old brick fireplace and is all finished with timber and granite bench tops.At the other end of the house there are 3 good sized bedrooms up on the main level all with efficient hydronic heating.
