Welcome to Winward Farm, a serene and meticulously managed property designed for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle with a deep connection to nature. Located at the end of a well-maintained road at 272 Denmark Lane, Swanfels, this unique property offers a modern home, expansive outdoor spaces, and exceptional farm infrastructure—all complemented by breathtaking views.
This thoughtfully designed three-bedroom home features spacious living areas, including a family-sized kitchen ideal for cooking enthusiasts. The kitchen boasts generous counter space, a sleek modern design, and a large butler's pantry for convenient food prep and storage. The open plan living and dining areas offer a welcoming space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the picturesque mountain views. With one bathroom and three toilets, the home ensures ample comfort and practicality.
With a total of 15.6 hectares, Winward Farm has been run as a productive cattle and sheep property in conjunction with an established garden and food forest designed around permaculture principles. Excellent fencing and a range of farm structures, including a double garage, workshop, animal shelters, and machinery shed, provide all the essentials for efficient livestock management and storage.
The property features a solar-powered bore, which is pumped via a Lorentz solar pump to various tanks across the land and reticulated to troughs for livestock and vegetable gardens. There are over 100 fruit and nut trees planted across the property, with an additional large vegetable garden featuring established perennials like asparagus, strawberries, dragon fruit, and many herbs.
Powering the home is a five-kilowatt solar system, supported by a backup diesel generator (installed in 2023) and new lithium batteries (installed in 2024). The off-grid power setup ensures self-sufficiency, while an off-grid water system includes seven large water tanks and the bore, ensuring reliability for the home and farm.
Outside, the land is a haven for nature lovers. Rolling hills, lush grasslands, diverse birdlife, and a seasonal creek create a picturesque backdrop. With well-maintained paddocks suitable for grazing and excellent soil, the property is perfect for farming, sustainable living, and outdoor exploration. Walking tracks and waterfalls (in the wet season) add to the property's charm.
