'Fodlon Farm' - a beautiful and peaceful retreat with outstanding highland property views in nearly all directions. The sunrises & sunsets are often breathtaking. The near-level, slightly undulating property is perfect for the horse enthusiast with the added bonus of a temporary stable and riding arena. Divided into five securely-fenced paddocks, the property would also suit other small livestock operations, allowing for rotational grazing. The soil is rich, dark & may be suitable for various types of cropping. Historically it has run livestock.

Beautiful crystal clear water is readily available to each paddock with the supply being gravity fed to each trough. The water supply is reliable and consistent even in dry times with a bore extending down to 167m deep, which never runs dry.


As an extra bonus, part of the farm is currently agisted providing a little extra income if the purchaser wishes to continue.
