A charming tree-lined driveway with lemon scented gums and a remote entry gate create a welcoming entry to the property that has been meticulously planned and little expense spared to create an internal laneway system from each paddock to new galvanised cattle yards, a crush and loading ramp.

Extensive drainage works have also been undertaken and feed two dams, a bore supplies stock water to concrete toughs in each paddock, there is a new four-bay machinery shed, a smaller feed shed, grain silo, hardstand parking area, Ringlock and electrified fencing and hundreds of recently planted trees.

Surrounded by sweeping lawns, the residence includes a large open plan lounge and dining area with a wood heater and open fireplace, a timber kitchen and meals area with a Dutch door to the rear veranda, an ensuite and walk-in robe to the main bedroom and a renovated bathroom with a deep bath and frameless glass shower.
