Small Farm - An Affordable Beauty

Surrounded by beef properties all of over 100 acres, this 6.88ha/17acre gem is set in the tranquil valley of Jiggi and in the foothills of beautiful and dramatic forested mountains.This location offers a diverse range of wildlife from koalas and wallabies to mid-winter sightings of the Regent Bowerbirds. Flora is equally dramatic with 80-100 grass trees gracing the eastern border hill. There are several mature Callistemons and Melaleuca trees attracting the diverse local birdlife, whilst the dwelling is set in open grassed paddock, ready for the budding gardener or landscaper to create the environment of their dreams.<br/><br/>The small farm currently is set up as a cattle farm. The 6 fenced paddocks have stock troughs fed by the 63000l/14000g rainwater tanks and the pastures consist of a mixture of rhodes, setaria and kikuyu grasses interlaced with maku lotus[nitrogen fixer]. Fencing is a combination of barbed wire and electric.<br/><br/>The lovely 2 bedroom home is a very solid structure supported by 100mm galvanised poles. The chunky supporting hardwood timbers were locally sourced from a 1970's building, and the cladding is hardwood chamfer boards. The timbers have all been lacquered to maintain the warmth of a country build, with hardwoods featuring inside and out. The three verandahs and internal flooring are also hardwood...all very solid indeed. The three sides of wraparound-style verandahs are a feature of the build, since country living is all about the great outdoors. From here you will enjoy wide, open views over the lawns to gorgeous forested hills. The carport is under the main roof-line and has a very high 3.3m ceiling which is big enough for a 4wd with a 'tinny' on top. Being under the roof-line allows the next owner to create a lock-up garage in the future OR to extend the living area of the home if they desire. Mains underground power is available at the house as well as the shipping container, which is situated 100 metres from the dwelling.There's solar hot water with an electric booster, cooking is gas supplied by dual gas bottles, and there's ceiling fans throughout. Inside has been finished with the warm ambiance of timber, but with contemporary features and fittings for modern living. It has solid kitchen cabinetry, and great bathroom/laundry, and he new owner will have everything they need for comfortable living as is, or they can also tackle a few small projects to complete the home to their own taste.<br/><br/>This is a gorgeous area with a lovely home, and is priced realistically so you can afford to live the country dream.<br/><br/>Call Sundai Harrison on 0413 751 184 or John Wilcox on 0428 200 288 for your private inspection
