Agent’s Comment
There is a degree of rugged beauty about this property. Anybody prepared to use a bit of “elbow grease” will be justly rewarded. Views from the tops extend for over 60
kilometres!

This property should appeal to a person looking for their first block, or equally to those with greater resources looking for a project.
