If you are after a property with a unique story; feel free to contact Nick Hay at Harcourts Northern Midlands to arrange a private inspection and/or attend one of the open homes in the near future.

Note: The current owners have done a considerable amount of work in regards to management of the cemetery so that a new purchaser only has to meet minimum paperwork requirements in order to purchase the property. This is to be in line with laws which were amended late last year. Please be reassured that the cemetery was closed back in the 1970's so no further burials can occur. 'Management' is primarily groundskeeping and maintaining access gates to the public.
