This well constructed home built in 1950, is exactly today as it was then. The home has been well maintained and cared for over many years, with no renovations done and a clean slate to work with.
The property, originally on larger acreage, has been in the family for over 3 generations and has never been sold prior.
Previously a large apple orchard in the early 1900's, the extended families worked and lived together in close proximity. In more recent years, the orchard had been removed to make way for a more productive farming lifestyle for running cattle and sheep. Most of the old outbuildings remain including the old milking shed with the teat cups hooked up on an old rusty nail, just as it was left a lifetime ago.
Although we are fully expecting a buyer to renovate and change the property to their own taste and upgrade to more modern facilities, there are those selective buyers who just love something original and old. Apart from some upgrades, these buyers may love the retro decor of the home just as it is.
The land is mostly flat with a breakup up of 2/3rds pasture to 1/3rd native bush. Lovely rural views and sun are abundant.
The extensive northern boundary is located alongside the bitumen road, this enables good access to multiple paddocks on the property.
