If you have a passion for the rural lifestyle and want to establish a holding of animals, plant a productive crop or a have a brilliant business idea that awaits the perfect location, then this flat 78 hectare rural property provides the ideal opportunity for you to pursue your agricultural enterprise or lifestyle development.
Predominantly cleared and only 16 direct kilometres south of the townsite of Margaret River and 7 kilometres from the hamlet of Witchcliffe, this farm is nestled in the fertile southwest food bowl of Forest Grove, is semi bordered by state forest and is highly suited to cattle grazing, silage production and forestry. Currently loosely supporting cattle with boundary and internal fencing, simply move in your own livestock and immediately enjoy the spoils of the land.
The property is zoned "Priority Agriculture" but has the potential for subsidiary development of no more than 6 chalets or 12 caravan or camping bays, subject to Shire conditions. Any further intensive tourist development would require planning scheme amendments.
Direct access to market or exposure to heavy tourist traffic is assured as the property fronts 700 metres of Bussell Highway, the major arterial road of the southwest. This extensive road frontage will provide effortless access for customers or trucks should you wish to develop the property for rural or accommodation trade.
Whilst the two very modest homes on the property require more than just renovation, they are both approved as dwellings which provides an ease of transition for extensive redevelopment. Internal access roads, grain silos, modest sheds and water tanks are included on the property and provide immediate convenience during establishment. High annual winter rainfall provides an excellent grounding for this farm and an underground creek line runs into a dam on the southwestern corner, providing abundant water for livestock and other pursuits. An unimposing Telstra tower is located on the northwest corner of the property and generates a passive lease income.
This rural property presents an amazing opportunity for a farmer looking to diversify, or the budding farmer or entrepreneur wishing to pursue their new rural or tourist enterprise in the heart of the beautiful southwest corner of Western Australia.
