You will enjoy an instant supplementary income from cattle currently agisted on the property, and their owner is happy to continue with this arrangement. The quality fenced property is divided into four paddocks also suited to horses and sheep, and provides good grazing and hay crops. Water wise, a natural drainage system attracts run off to the massive dam, which has never run dry. The level is still high even now. There are also three large water tanks plus stockyards and stock access lanes, and paddock water troughs. Other key infrastructure includes a four-bay machinery shed and a high-span 12mx8m powered workshop. There is even a cute cubby for the kids and plenty of free wood for the home's tile fire.
