Since 2001 Drovers Rest has been certified organic, and is currently certified with ACO (Australian Certified Organic). That's nearly a quarter-century of certified organic management and land-care! In 1999, Drovers Rest was registered with "Land for Wildlife" due to its forest maintenance and regeneration, conservation values, and it's positioning within one of the Southwest's wildlife corridors.

Drovers Rest is a developed 214 acre (87Ha) property, situated in the locality of Kangaroo Gully, 8 km east of Bridgetown. The property is made up of a combination of native vegetation and cleared, fenced-in paddocks, perfect for agricultural and eco-tourism pursuits. The natural areas of the property nurture picturesque jarrah and marri forests, mature deciduous trees, wetlands, a majestic paperbark grove, ancient grass trees and more! The property's northern, southern and eastern boundaries are surrounded by the calm and peaceful Hester State Forest, making this location a hidden gem with first-class access to mountain bike tracks and bush walking trails. Perfect for someone pursuing a potential eco- tourism venture.

When it comes to buying property, clean, fresh water is so often the key to success. The Hester State Forest is laden with white beach sands and provides a perfect natural filtration system to ensure the water that comes "downstream" to Drovers Rest is drinkable, fresh, and ideal for irrigating produce and watering livestock.

Drovers Rest has a robust and drought-tested water supply from a high quality bore, which automatically delivers water to a 90,000lt holding tank at a rate of 10,000lt per hour. There is an additional 230,000lt of potable water storage in steel rain-water tanks and 30 million litre capacity dam that is spring fed and strategically positioned to catch run-off water during rain events.
