"Clover Banks" is nestled alongside St Patrick's Head and Mount Elephant, 3 kilometres from the historic East Coast town of St Marys. It has been farmed and carefully managed by members of the Lohrey family for the past 100 years. This 117 hectare (289 acre) farm was once home to a Suffolk Sheep flock but now runs beef cows producing 'sappy' cross bred calves for the local vealer market. Green pastures and water from Kringles Creek are the right ingredients for healthy livestock.
Well fenced paddocks amount to half the total area of these 5 land titles. Productive heavy brown loam soils have grown crops in conjunction with pasture renovation. Winter flowing catchment is stored in a 20ML dam which could be used for irrigating crops or grass/clover. Livestock water troughs are supplied from Kringles Creek.
The home on "Clover Banks" offers 4 bedrooms, a large kitchen/family dining room and 2 sun rooms. House features include original timber flooring, a Raeburn wood stove (also electric stove) and classic dcor.
An extensive orchard of apples, pears, stone fruits, plums, berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries) has been grown for years on the banks of this picturesque creek.
All the farm buildings are built of steel framework and iron cladding. These include sheds for shearing, farm implements, trucks and tractors. A lock up work shop and car garage compliment the collection. Hay barns, cattle and sheep yards are also part of the structural improvements.
"Clover Banks" is a ideal farm for a young farming family or a client looking for retirement. It's a beautiful lifestyle property.
