An ideal opportunity for downsizing farmers or those dreaming of a small farming lifestyle, this picturesque 160-acre property offers a perfect blend of productivity, natural beauty, and comfort. With rolling farmland, pockets of native bushland, and sweeping rural vistas, it's a place where practicality meets serenity.
Located less than 10km from the big roundabout and just over 12km from the heart of Albany, the convenience of town is right at your doorstep - without compromising the peace of country living.
The solid brick and iron homestead is warm and welcoming, surrounded by rambling cottage gardens with mature ornamental trees and native plantings that complement the broader landscape. Inside, the home features generous accommodation and spacious living zones, perfect for family life or visiting guests.
At the heart of the home, the country-style kitchen showcases timber cabinetry, Corian benchtops, a double sink, dishwasher, and a striking black Falcon cooker with five gas burners, matching rangehood, and splashback. A large walk-in pantry offers ample shelving and cleverly conceals the fridge.
The open-plan living and dining area is both spacious and inviting, with a Norseman wood fire and two reverse-cycle air conditioners providing comfort year-round. A separate lounge room, accessed through double glass doors, offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the garden - ideal as a TV room, activity space, or reading nook.
A large laundry/mudroom leads from the back patio and includes a separate shower and toilet, perfect after a day in the garden or paddocks. The master suite features an ensuite and built-in robe, while four additional bedrooms (two upstairs, two downstairs) offer flexible accommodation for family or guests.
Outside, a purpose-built studio nestled among birch trees provides an inspiring creative space. Currently used as a gallery and art studio, it includes track lighting, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and a wide front deck - suitable for a variety of uses such as a home office, guest retreat, or hobby room.
The wrap-around patio with clear roofing and a north-easterly aspect is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the gardens and abundant birdlife.
The farm itself is well set up, with approximately 100 acres of quality arable land and a strong fertiliser history, ideal for grazing. It features four soaks, two dams, and eight paddocks with hot wire fencing. A Gallagher exclusion fence surrounds the bushland, keeping kangaroos contained and off the pasture.
Infrastructure includes an open three bay carport/shed, a general-purpose shed with shearing facilities, chicken coop, and well-designed cattle yards complete with a crush - everything you need for a functional and manageable farming lifestyle.
