Good water supply - All 5 poly tanks are in very good condition and collectively hold 110,000 litres of rain water. A no-clog, floating water pick-up with ball valve has been installed in the dam, so when it has a good supply of water, it can be pumped up to any area of the property. The dam rises and falls with the rain or lack thereof and is shared with a neighboring property. Power supply - much of the electrical wiring has been upgraded.

There are also large lean-to car or caravan ports on both sides of this building.
