Held in the same family for 5 generations the sale of The Old Orchard is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase productive land in a picturesque setting with excellent infrastructure and an as new home.
The 3 bedroom ensuite home is solar off grid powered and enjoys a sunny northerly aspect with views across the surrounding ranges. A recent addition of an enclosed deck on the eastern side with stacker doors provides an all year round sunroom with the option of catching the summer breezes from the full length opening. The open plan living area is soaked in sun in winter and shaded in summer by the verandah across the front of the home, this is a very warm home being orientated correctly, well insulated and double glazed throughout.
The elevation 900-930 metres above sea level provides a reliable rainfall, typically around 1000mm per annum. This together with improved soils which have been regularly fertilised providing approximately 43 hectares of arable land. There are 8 paddocks and 8 dams, also a permanent creek so water is no problem. Fencing is excellent; much is new with approximately 2.5 kilometres of electric perimeter fencing.
There are so many features of this property that only an inspection will appreciate; the orchard with so many old trees-plums, lemons, peaches and nectarines; the cleverly transformed shearing shed now providing sheltered cattle yards with crush; the 4 bay shed with auto doors.
Located just 44 kilometres from Bungendore or 58 kilometres from Queanbeyan allows an easy commute and an idyllic lifestyle farm for a productive enterprise.
