In addition to the deep dam there is a 92,000L rainwater tank plumbed to the house and a high yield bore, which more than takes care of the beautiful roses, natives and cottage garden. A sizeable chook pen sits up near the raised vegetable beds and the large shed with sliding doors has a lean-to for storing small machinery or trailers.Ideal for a small family or a downsizer, this charming property is full of features that make it suitable for horses or as a lifestyle block that simply offers peace and tranquility in the trees.
