"White Hawk Creek Farm" - a captivating personality with a rich history! We are proud to introduce to the market this circa 1900 homestead surrounded by 26.71 hectares of land (66 acres approx.), ideal for an array of lifestyle and agricultural pursuits. Lovely gardens, fruit and nut trees, and park like areas surround the weatherboard homestead that retains many of its original features. The 167m2 (approx.) floor plan offers a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area, three bedrooms including the spacious master with ensuite, main bathroom located near the other two bedrooms, and a mud room (formerly the original kitchen). Step out from the living area to the gazebo and covered BBQ area which takes in peaceful and private views over the property and beyond.
Warmth is ensured during the winter months with the reverse cycle LG heat pump ducted through to the main bedroom, Rinnai gas heater in living area, four panel heaters and open fire places throughout the home.
The home has been much loved by several owners over its lifetime, each putting their own influence on the property, including the current owners who have updated the kitchen including quality granite benchtops and international Bosch appliances, extended the living space and master bedroom, re-roofed, re-plumbed, re-wired, and installed bottled gas for heating, cooktop and hot water - just to name a few.
The property enjoys an abundant water supply with a water licence allocating 48 Megalitres (28 ML from the Don River, and 20 ML from White Hawk Creek), two dams, a 50,000 litre concrete tank for the house supply, and a tank near the barn which is fed from the front dam and gravity fed to troughs in each of the paddocks, allowing the option of various pursuits. All paddocks are bordered by electric fencing.
The owners currently utilise the land as a horse stud known as "Follydown Arabians" - preservation breeders of Crabbet Arabian horses, with 10 stables and a small round yard. The land is currently down to pasture, however it has been a cropping farm over the years, and has the potential to run cattle.
The Don River forms the back boundary of the property, and is home to trout which will impress the avid fishermen, and they can also be found in the dams. Furthermore there is a waterfall situated on the property, providing a tranquil spot to sit back and take in the surrounds.
There are numerous sheds and outbuildings including the 12m x 24m shed with demountable stables (negotiable in the sale), cattle yards, barn, old stables, and a hot house.
Conveniently positioned only 4km (approx.) from Sheffield, and 19km (approx.) from Spreyton/Devonport, giving you privacy and freedom without isolation.
"White Hawk Creek Farm" is a lovely rural and residential property of historical interest and great potential.
