There are four main paddocks all accessed from the house block which is fenced and enclosed from the rest of the property. Paddocks feature sheep-proof fencing and three of these have water troughs.
Shedding comprises machinery sheds, hay sheds, a double carport with storage, a car shed with pit, and two stone and timber structures which have served as a creative studio/workshop with power and concrete flooring. A young sculptor and artist made his mark here. An added feature of this property is the existing four pig sheds which are approved by Council for 400 grower pigs and have the potential to provide a reliable income.
